We may need a mathematician or perhaps a physicist to devise a proper module for this purpose. The Infinite Monkey Protocol Suite obviously considers the use of subatomic monkeys and monkeys in multiple universes, hence the need for the I-TAG encoding needed to enumerate them all.

This problem seems to closely resemble the programming necessary for quantum computers. Obviously if you need as many qubits (quantum bits) as there are letters in the longest document you seek to reproduce, you are in trouble since science has yet to produce more than a handful of qubits.

But if you had the use of the 5 qubit computer IBM built last month, which is basically using five atom-sized monkeys in multiple universes, you could work on the problem five bits at a time (should be just enough to pick a character from the set of capital alphabet letters, the space key, and a few diacritical marks).

In the words of the inventor of this quantum computer, words which little does he realize will soon be immortalized (!) through Perl and our application of the Infinite Monkey Protocol Suite,

`A quantum computer could eventually be used for practical purposes such as database searches -- for example searching the Web could be sped up a great deal -- but probably not for more mundane tasks such as word processing,'' said Isaac Chuang, the IBM researcher who led the team of scientists from IBM, Stanford University and the University of Calgary.

This open source effort could possibly be funded by a modest tax of 1/1000 of a penny per monkey provided, including all universes traversed by the protocol of course.
