Aruna,
That helps but how would i just get back an X number of random numbers because
@nums could be in the hundreds of unique numbers. For instance, i just want to
randomly pickout 4 numbers from a long list of unique numbers in @nums, how
would i do that? Thanks.

my @nums =
("10000","10002","10004","10005","10006","140000","1500000");
print "@nums[0..rand(@nums)]\n";
