Thanks Peng, that was what I was looking for. One more question, if i want to
ensure true randomness instead of pseudo-random; would the Math::TruRandom
module be my best option? Has any of you worked with that before. I'm install
that module now and it's taking a long time to run a make test, has been 20
minutes already; is that normal? Thanks.

Try the modified code below, it works fine.
use strict;
use warnings;
my $max=3;
my @nums =
("10000","10002","10004","10005","10006","140000","1500000");
my @randnum = map { $nums[int rand(@nums)] } 1 .. $max;
print "@randnum \n";
