note kcott <p> Here's my $0.02 worth: </p> <code> $ perl -E 'say 1 + int rand 99 for 1..3' 28 94 43 </code> <p> Obviously, change the 3 to 100. </p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> You appear to want decimals although you asked for a range using integers. Perhaps you could clarify. </p> <p> This gives: <c>1.0 < random_number < 99.0</c> </p> <code> $ perl -E 'say 1 + rand 98 for 1..3' 38.6240726329874 72.0054041794683 94.0423383452302 </code> <!-- Node text goes above.
