* If you plan to use time(), use Time::HiRes instead. It provides more uniqueness and also seems to execute faster than time().

Time::HiRes::time indeed provides more uniqueness, but it is not faster:

sorry, only way I could figure out how to deal with time "slipping". After $inc == MAXINC

Try the modulo operator %. Example increments: 

($counter += 1) %= 5;    # 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2..4, 0..4, 0..4, ...
($counter += 1) %= 256;  # 0..255, 0..255, ...
