First program

Hello list-

I've recently decided to learn a programming language, and for reasons
beyond the scope of this post I chose Perl. I've read some books, and
I decided to make a dice-rolling IRC bot. I wanted to use
POE::Component::IRC because it looks really cool.. unfortunately I
don't know very much about Object Oriented Perl. (Alpaca book is in
the mail ;) So, in the meantime, I pulled the example program from the
POE::Component::IRC page on CPAN [1] and modified it to suit my needs.
I believe that this is allowed by the license, however if I've done
something I shouldn't please correct me :D

I suppose what I'm looking for is a critique of my program. (Really,
just my subroutine, as the rest is pretty much unmodified) Code is at
[2], my subroutine is highlighted (&roll)

Thanks in advance for any help.
