Err, 48 if you count the whole works:
perl -e'@l=<>;print while($_=splice@l,rand@l,1)'
</CODE>
Update:
Best beat myself before someone else does. As often occurs,
map inspires and produces useful results. 46 characters:
perl -e'map{splice@l,rand@l+1,0,$_}<>;print@l'
Or, if you really want to get down to brass tacks, 45 characters:
perl -e'splice@l,rand@l+1,0,$_ for<>;print@l'
Note that the '+1' can be eliminated if there is a blank
line at the start of the file.
Update 2.0
It occured to me to break sort and make it act all screwy,
which sure jumbles up the text a fair bit, for all intents
appearing totally random.
31 characters:
perl -e'print sort{4-rand 9}<>'
