Re: selecting random key from hashby rrwo (Friar) |

Why do you need a random key from the hash? How many do you need? The order of hash keys is for all intents and purposes "random" (unordered, with a security randomization added in Perl 5.8.1 I think), so for some purposes you can just take the first n hash keys... For some purposes, this is good enough.
