I think this is what u're talking about.. you're being vague by the way...

$howmany = 1000; # this is the variable to hold the x number # assuming that you can get the number of ss#'s in some variable $numb +erOfss for (0..$howmany) { my $ra = int(rand($numberOfss)); print $ra,"\n"; # do whatever you want with it here.. }

and then... probably not..

Update: added a comment in the code.
