My idea here was to write an Eliza style bot that added new keyword/response pairs to itself. Its not perfect but it is still kinda a cool hack. You can see a working example that is suppose to act like Gir from invader zim here. Here is the code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw( header param );
use Chatbot::Eliza;

sub parse {
my $data = shift;
$data =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
my @junk = qw( am is are was were be been have has had do does did can
+ should may might must shall should will would to of the i );
my $junk;
foreach $junk(@junk) {
$data =~ s/($junk | $junk)//g;
}
$data =~ s/(\.|!)//g;
return $data;
}

print header;
print "<TITLE> chatbot </title>\n";
print '<body bgcolor="black" background="line.gif" alink="#ff9900" lin
+k="#ff9900" vlink="#ff9900" text="#ff9900">';
my $gir = new Chatbot::Eliza "Gir", "brain";
my $babble = param("babble");
my $orig = $babble;
if ($babble =~ /\?|you/) {
1;
} else {
my $jist = parse($babble);
my @words = split(/ /, $jist);
open(BRAIN,">>brain");
my $word;
foreach $word(@words) {
my $num = int(rand 10);
my $mem = $orig;
$mem =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
$mem =~ s/my /your /g;
$mem =~ s/i /you /g;
$mem =~ s/mine /yours /g;
print BRAIN "key: $word $num\n";
print BRAIN "  decomp: *\n";
print BRAIN "    reasmb: $mem\n";
}
}

my $response  = $gir->transform( $orig );
print "Bot: $response\n";
print <<HTML;
<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="http://yoursite.com/url/goes/here.cgi">
You:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="babble" SIZE="30">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="talk"></form>

HTML

print '</body>';
