Assuming you keep your articles/verbs/nouns in different files, this wouldn't be terribly difficult:
my(@sentenceformats) = (
'a v n', 'a v n v n'
);
#pick a sentence format -- there's probably a much
#easier way to do this!
my($sent) = int(rand($#sentenceformats)));
my(@format) = split(/ /, $sentenceformat[$sent]);
for (@format) {
if (/a/) { #pick a article
} elsif (/v/) { #pick a verb
} elsif (/n/) { #pick a noun
} else { warn "Unknown sentence fragment\n"; };
};
Of course, this is all untested, and I /think/ it should work.. YMMV. -marius

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).
