I rewrote your code and made a stab at my own.

Some of the changes I made to your code:

• No empty cycles without outputing a random number.
• No possibilities of infinite loop.
  • could happen if ($myend/2 < $mystart)
  • example: mystart = 60, myend = 100).
• Actually use int function, not a split on a period
• Use += instead of $sum = $sum + $number

In my code, instead of only choosing numbers from part of the range, I weigh the results smaller or larger as needed. This is an advantage if the desired average is close to the real average, but a disadvantage if the desired average is radically different. The reason I consider it an advantage when the desired average is close to the real average is that you still could get the entire ranger of numbers; not a sequence of numbers below the average, then a sequence of numbers above the average, etc.
