Re: Re: random number generation problem

thanks a lot for the code, but

return join ('',
              map { $vchars[int(rand($#vchars+1))] }
                 5 .. 5+int(rand(10)));
[download]

seems to also return strings less than 5 chars longs

Would you believe it if I said that it should read: `1 .. 5+int(rand(10)))` [download] Since we aren't counting from five to some number in the range of 5-15, but from 1! Thanks to cghost23 and Chmrr for the tip.	[reply] [d/l]
