Re: Parser for Gutenberg Library Catalog?

There's a similar concept called "Markov Chaining" which creates the same kind of seemingly-logical language. I bet someone's got a Perl script out there. I don't seem to be able to search CPAN at the moment, but there are stacks of hits for "Markov Chaining Perl" when I search Google.

I bet someone's got a Perl script out there. http://www.postcognitive.com/tools/babelize At the time I wrote this, I had a boss who used to send out these semi-inspirational emails. We fed a stack of his email into the babelizer, and used it to generate a random web page. It was hysterically funny for about 3 days.	[reply]

Have any of my fellow monks done anything using Algorithm::MarkovChain? I installed it off CPAN a couple weeks ago meaning to play with it, but I haven't gotten around to it just yet. Once upon a time, I build a Markov Chainer-based object on a MOO and fed it huge passages from Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. The things it would spew back out were eerie. It almost seemed like it achieved sentience and bacame one of the Secret Masters of the World. `__________` He seemed like such a nice guy to his neighbors / Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors - Jefferson Airplane, "Assassin"	[reply]
