I thoght it might work but it doesnt. I hope someone could give me an
idea to work this out...

TIMTOWTDY:

a) print "Array of random: $array[rand( @array ) ] \n";

b) print "Array of random: " . $array[rand @array] . "\n";

c) my $random_name = $array[rand @array];
print "Array of random: $random_name\n";

Hi Thomas,

Just a quick question, how does Perl interpret something like  
$array[0.7995038473872]?

Cheers,

Dave
