Can I ask why this is in a module? It doesn't do anything besides make a round-about way of calling rand()... Perhaps adding functionality of passing ranges for the numbers to be picked from would improve this. Not to mention that this is a complete waste of the purpose of OO programming. :(

Other than that, here's the way I replace your whole module: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $num = rand();

Update: If this is simply your first try at creating a module, then I suppose I'd say you accomplished that nicely. You know how to export functions and do a couple of small things, so good job. Now all you need to learn is how to keep data within an object (separate from other objects) and how to manipulate this data. Good start though :P
