This is a fun and interesting text analysis project. On a side note, for those who want to expiriment with this type of project straight from perl, the functionality can also be implemented relatively well with array references and a function that chooses random elements therefrom.

This is an alternative route for those who are unable to install a module like yours or Inline::Spew.

### INIT script
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use SpewUtils            
        qw(Rc1 RcN RoD ScrubST)
        ;

### script
    for my $item (0..5){
        print   GenSaying000();
        print ("\n-----------------------------------\n");
    }

    sub GenSaying000 {
        my  $strOut = Sentence();
            $strOut = ScrubST($strOut);
            return $strOut;
    }###end_sub

    sub Sentence {
        Rc1([qw( The A )])." @{[adjective()]} @{[animal()]} sat on the
+ @{[object()]} @{[adjacency()]}";
    }###end_sub

    sub animal {
        Rc1([qw( cat dog rat mouse cheetah elephant )])
    }###end_sub

    sub object {
        Rc1([qw( fence mat shovel car roof )])   ;
    }###end_sub

    sub adjacency {
        Rc1([ 'near',  'behind', 'next to',  'underneath',  ])
        ." the "
        .Rc1([ 'doorway',  'outhouse', 'patio',  'fence', 'corner', 'b

        ;
    }###end_sub
