Ahem..excuse me; What is the principle of KISS? Thanks. :)
Also, for the rand script below; you'd have to pass it a 'bit' value? how's
that, and why's that? Or are you calling a bit a integer/float; that seems
likely. (just thought of that)
Why not 'use warnings' down there by the good 'ole use strict? Isn't the -w
"global" in scope, and can't it not be (huh?) pop'ed out of "scope". While
'use warnings' can be turned off. Hm...with something like, no warnings;
maybe. Right? I'm pretty tired..go to bed..no...comput..zzzz :)
Thanks.
