Looks fine for me! The modules are core and your producing a maximal seed. Still think it's exaggerated for your problem... ... but it's a good generic solution for similar tasks! =) My only concern is readability, better use something like ord $char with an explicit loop var my $char Anyway you are still operating on the assumption that hostnames are always different, since I don't know your project this might be ok or not. Generating a random seed at installation time would prevent this "problem".
