Here is my perl6 port of your code. I had to work around a thing with given/when...unless they fixed it and i didn't notice yet.

use v6; my %dict = ( sentence => [[qw/ noun_phrase verb_phrase /]], noun_phrase => [[qw/ Article Noun /]], verb_phrase => [[qw/ Verb noun_phrase /]], Article => [qw/ the a /], Noun => [qw/ man ball woman table/], Verb => [qw/ hit took saw liked /] ); sub generate ($phrase) { given $phrase { when .does(List) { return $phrase.map:{generate($_)} } if (defined %dict.{$_}) { return generate( %dict.{$_}.pick) } else { return [$phrase] } } } sub gen_sentence () { generate("sentence").join(" ").say }; gen_sentence for 1..5;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
