Well, this should really go under "Idiotic Uses for Perl that are entirely Overkill", but alas, there is no such section...

I was inspired, if you will, by Genuine Quantum Randomness. This uses the module described there. 

use HotBits;
my $x = new HotBits::;
my $n1 = $x->request (32);
my $n2 = $x->request (32);
if((unpack("i*",$n1))>(unpack("i*",$n2))){print "Heads\n";}elsif((unpa
+ck("i*",$n1))==(unpack("i*",$n2))){print "The coin flew out of sight,
+ sorry. No answer, and you're out \$0.25.\n";}else{print "Tails\n";}

Quite minimalistic. And slow. But it works. And it's random enough, I'd say.

Update: fixed the problem that merlyn mentioned. Although the chances of the numbers being equal are kinda slim :)

Another Update: With a bit of code suggested by saucepan, I've made it a bit simpler. More effective, too. Here it is: 

use HotBits;
my $HotBits = new HotBits::;

my $val=$HotBits->request (32);
$val=unpack('%32b*', $val)%2;

if($val==1){print "Heads\n";}else{print "Tails\n";}
