It's safe, although there's not much reason to do it unless you have access to something more random than what it will use by default. You should not call srand more than once in a running perl interpreter, which is why the mod_perl docs advise against it. The mod_perl docs there are basically a quote from the perlfunc manpage: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/srand.html - Perrin
