gryphon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Greetings fellow monks,
After reading Sam Tregar's Writing Perl Modules for CPAN, I got inspired to take an old script of mine and rewrite it, improve it, and turn it into a module.
"ManagementSpeak" (name subject to change based on your feedback) generates grammatically correct, managerial-sounding text that means absolutely nothing. It can output sentences, paragraphs, and whole documents with embedded structure. The goal is to easily provide filler or lorem ipsen content that has the potential to pass as real. This module does for geeks what lorem ipsen does for designers.
Here is a directory with the module, test, POD, and example CGI. I would appreciate constructive critisism. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that this is my first CPAN module, so I've probably made some stupid mistakes somewhere.
Thanks all.
UPDATE: Thanks for all the pointers to stuff that's similar to this that's been around for a while. The reason I wrote this module was mostly for the &document method, which builds a full document with fake information architecture. It lets me do stuff like this.
