This will generate a million unique 128-bit random numbers in around 20 seconds, and happily goes up to 10 million (and I suspect very, very much higher, but I ran out of memory) without duplication.

If you want them hexified use unpack as in the commented out print statement.

#! perl -slw use strict; use Time::HiRes qw[ time ]; use Math::Random::MT qw[ rand srand ]; $| = 1; our $MAX ||= 1000000; srand( time ); my %hash; for ( 1 .. $MAX ) { my $rand = pack 'N4', map{ rand 0xffffffff } 1..4; die "Got duplicate after $_ attempts" if exists $hash{ $rand }; $hash{ $rand } = (); # print unpack 'H*', $rand; printf "\r$_\t" unless $_ % 1000; } __END__ [12:20:07.29] P:\test>417743 -MAX=1000000 1000000

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.
