Perhaps some monks here have done something similar to what I'm looking to do. I know there are natural language parsing modules on CPAN, but I want to do the opposite -- I want to take a description of a sentence (like "NOUN.SINGULAR VERB.SINGULAR NOUN.PLURAL", although I know that's probably not specific enough) and, given a table defining words and their parts of speech, construct a random sentence. The goal is to produce a random sentence generator that is sensical; the word bank will be comprised of the words and word phrases found in the "The Onion" Refrigerator Magnet Headline Kit.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
