Does anybody now how to generate a string 'at random' like:
"KHGJJKHJkgsahjhvdsjcty78vn4756q8uymnuinbdtynhxjkhdsfhavfgdsjaxh"
"KHGJJKHJkgsahjhvdsjcty78vn4756q8uymnuinbdtynhxjkhdsfhavfgdsjaxh"

Try;
@array = (a-zA-Z);
foreach (20) # Set to the number of random letters you need
{
$rand = int(rand scalar(@array));
print "$array[$rand]";
splice(@array,$rand,1);
}
The above should work...

Andy - double check the code -- it isn't right.

no need to splice the array since it doesn't matter if characters are duplicated. not to mention if they want a string greater than 52 characters in your example it won't work.
-g
s/(\d{2})/chr($1)/ge + print if $_ = '8284703280698276687967';
Code:
$a.= (a..z,A..Z,0..9)[int(rand(62))] for (1..30);s/(\d{2})/chr($1)/ge + print if $_ = '8284703280698276687967';
