I do, and I know ;-)

Agreed. The "only" reason I am doing it this way is because I want to add
new tips/images to the template and not have to restart the server, as we
use mod_perl.

If I put these things in the "auto" of the main app, then I need to edit
the myapp.pm, then restart.

If I think a wee bit harder, it's probably easier to pass in a rand number
via the $c->stash of Catalyst, but for this circumstance, it fits nicely.

Thanks for your advice,

Gavin.
