The first is to install Inline and proceed from there. The second is to use unpack with "P" to get at what is in a particular spot in the memory of your current process. You should not be able to get at the memory of other processes this way.
If you are on a *nix system and have root access you can play around with /dev/mem to find what memory looks like. Of course if you wanted a good seed for random numbers, you are better off either trusting Perl to do a good job, or using something like Math::Random.
