My random project generator

It's sparse, short, cryptic, and perhaps not very unique,

but someone might find this useful. I like to think it

taps into the unlimited chaotic potential of Perl. Here's

the code.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @words = ("copy ","study ","meditate ","write from scratch ");
my @words2 = ("and ","or ");
my @words3 = ("scalars ","arrays ","hashes ","regexes ","subroutines "
+,"cpan ","perlmonk archives ","cgi ");

print $words[rand @words], $words2[rand @words2], $words[rand @words],
+ $words3[rand @words3], "\n";

IMHO, it'd be better to take out the elements you've used, for now I get things as: write from scratch or write from scratch perlmonk archives study or study hashes write from scratch or write from scratch arrays Something like this would fix it (/me ducks for TIMTOWTDI attacks...) `print splice(@words, int rand @words, 1), $words2[int rand @words2], splice(@words, int rand @words, 1), $words3[int rand @words3],"\n";` [download] -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.

This is a very simple bit of code but I like the effect. It's sort of quiet and unassuming. I may post a 'remix' later... in a little snippet like this I like to play a lot with syntactical and formatting possibilities. Thanks for posting! ~dewey	[reply]
