in reply to TIMTOWTDI Challenge: Create a filename

If the aim is to create a temporary file name (quite slow method):

use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday); my $rand = \&gettimeofday; my $temp_file_name = sub{ int(rand($rand->())) }; $temp_file_name = sub{ local $.; $..= $temp_file_name->() for 1..5; return $.; }->();
