Creating a random series of numbers with perl.

Posted by kitwalker2886 (kitwalker2886), 4 December 2007
How could i use perl to create a random series of numbers say from 1 to 10 with no repetitions and all the numbers must also be used.. rand function gives only one number as the output, and also even if i use it repeatedly with different seeds how can i prevent repetition of numbers..??
   

Posted by KevinAD (KevinAD), 4 December 2007
Don't use rand. Just create an array of the numbers and use the List::Util module and the shuffle function:

Code:
use List::Util qw/shuffle/;  
my @numbers = (1..10);
@numbers = shuffle(@numbers);
print "@numbers";
