would you be able to show me how to do this?

By the standards of the Perl Monks, it would be better for you to start by posting your current "totally random" code, and making at least a partial attempt to make the change, instead of just asking someone else to write your code for you.

Nonetheless, here's some working example code. You could easily extend this to make the words longer, or add a list of punctuation characters to mix in, or randomly switch around between a few different patterns of words, like "CVCVC", "VCVCC", and "CVVCV". 

# Build arrays of vowels and consonants
my @vowels = qw( a e i o u y );
my %vowels = map { $_ => 1 } @vowels;
my @consns = grep { ! $vowels{$_} } ( 'a' .. 'z' );

# Also include uppercase letters
push @vowels, map uc, @vowels;
push @consns, map uc, @consns;

# subroutine to pick a random entry from an array
sub pick_one {       
  my $array_ref = shift;
  return $array_ref->[ int rand( @$array_ref ) ];
}

# Define a pattern of "CVCVC"
my @syntax = ( \@consns, \@vowels, \@consns, \@vowels, \@consns );

# Do this part each time you need a new password
foreach ( 1 .. 10 ) {

  # Generate a random psuedo-word
  my $word = join '', map { pick_one( $_ ) } @syntax;

  # Then do something with it...
  print "$word\n";

}
