In one of my programs I started to receive database errors for not having a
unique id. I generate unique ids for each of the mysql lines that I add to
the database. I realized that the perl variable $idNum was keeping the same
random string for multiple executions.
I created a test program to demo

I had to strengthen the srand() function I added to the startup.pl that
