This module is used to create pronounceable yet completely meaningless language. It is good for sending to a textto -speech program (ala festival), generating passwords, annoying people on irc, and all kinds of fun things.
This new release is a full rewrite of the engine. It is based on grammar files derived from real text of real lan guages. Several grammars are provided for you to use, and you can also create your own.
Sample code:
use Silly::Werder;
my $werds = new Silly::Werder;
# Set the min and max number of werds per line $werds->set_werds_num(5, 9);
# Set the min and max # of syllables per werd $werds->set_syllables_num(3, 7);
# End the sentences in a newline
$werds->end_with_newline(1);
# Set the language to mimic
$werds->set_language(English, small);
# Return a random sentence, question, or exclamation $line = $werds->line;
$sentence = $werds->sentence;
$question = $werds->question;
$exclamation = $werds->exclamation;
# Get a single werd
$werd = $werds->get_werd;
# Generate a long random sentence calling as a class method
Silly::Werder->set_werds_num(10,20);
print Silly::Werder->line;
# All of the methods can be used as either class methods # or object methods.
Werder was created and implemented by Dave Olszewski, aka cxreg. You can send comments, suggestions, flames, or love letters to dave.o@pobox.com
