in reply to Generating Random Filenames

And if you really want to do it yourself, i'd suggest you create a filname based on a md5 string, i would do it something like this:
... package mdCrypt; require Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex); sub createMD5 { my $self = shift; my ($string) = join (',',@_); return md5_hex($string); } ... my $filename = $mdCryptObj->createMD5(localtime());
