I have a question regarding srand() usage with mod_perl. The documentation says: Do not call srand() (i.e. without an argument) more than once in a script. The internal state of the random number generator should contain more entropy than can be provided by any seed, so calling srand() again actually loses randomness. How does this relate to mod_perl? Is it safe to simply call srand() once per CGI script?
