in reply to Re: Re: Random numbers generation
in thread Random numbers generation

Direct quote from perldoc -f rand:

Apply "int()" to the value returned by "rand()" if you +want random integers instead of random fractional numbers. +For example, int(rand(10)) returns a random integer between 0 and 9, inclusive.
With this in mind take a look at my reply and apply a small tweak:
my @answers=(); push @answers,(int(rand(251))+250) foreach (0..99);
The sequence int(rand(251)) will now produce integers in the range of 0..250 and when added to 250 will produce 250..500.
