Text::Lorem::More - Generate formatted nonsense using random Latin words.

VERSION

Version 0.13

SYNOPSIS

Generate formatted nonsense using random Latin words.

use Text::Lorem::More;

my $lorem = Text::Lorem::More->new; 

            # Greet a friend
            print "Hello, ", $lorem->fullname, "\n";

            # You could also ...
            print $lorem->process("Hello, +fullname\n");

            ... or you can use the singleton:

            use Text::Lorem::More qw(lorem);

            # Generate a random latin word
            my $latinwordoftheday = lorem->word;

            # Produce paragaphs in the Text::Lorem compatible manner
            my $content = lorem->paragraphs(3);

            # Print 4 paragraphs, each separated by a single newline and tab:
            print "\t", scalar lorem->paragraph(4, "\n\t");

GENERATORS

To use a generator, call the method with the same name as the generator, To use the name generator, for example:

my $name = $lorem->name;

Alternatively, you can use the "generate" or "process" functions. To use the hostname generator, for example:

my $hostname = $lorem->hostname; 

            # This will do the same thing ...
            my $otherhostname = $lorem->generate("+hostname");

word
Generates random latin word. 

            dicta
            sed
            repellat

sentence
Generates between 4 and 9 words, with the first letter of the first word capitalized and a period following the last word.

paragraph
Generates between 3 and 6 sentences,

words $count
A Text::Lorem compatible words generator. Will generate $count words joined by " ".

sentences $count
A Text::Lorem compatible sentences generator. Will generate $count sentences joined by " ". Each sentence contains between 4 and 9 words and ends with a period. Passing in 0 for count will still produce a single period!

paragraphs $count
A Text::Lorem compatible sentences generator. Will generate $count paragraphs joined by "\n\n". Each paragraph contains between 3 and 6 sentences.

name / firstname / lastname
Generates a random latin word with the first letter capitalized 

            Repellat
            Sed
            Ipsum

fullname
Generates a firstname and lastname separated by a space

Lorem Dicta

username
Generates a random latin word

title
Generates between 1 and 3 words with the first letter of the first word capitalized

description
Generates between 1 and 3 sentences.

tld / topleveldomain
Generates a top level domain. Currently, this will either be "com", "org", or "net".

domain / domainname
Generates a domainname. Currently, this will attach "example" to a tld generator result. 

            example.com
            example.net

host / hostname
Generates a hostname. Currently, this will either return a plain domainname, as above, or attach a latin word to a domainname result. 

            et.example.com
            example.org

email / mail
path
httpurl
mailto
EXPORT
FUNCTIONS
new [$source]
Construct a new Text::Lorem::More object

generate $pattern [, $count, $separator] Generate some text using the specified pattern.

"generate" is faster than "process", as "generate" uses regex to perform substitution.

In list context, return a list with $count number of "words"

In scalar context, return $pattern repeated $count times and joined by $separator.

If you do not specify scalar context on the receiving end, then the separator will simply be discarded. This may change in the future

The default for $count is 1.

The default for $separator is " ".

A pattern will usually contain one or more generator tokens. For

example
            +name
            +fullname
            +word+word+word+word

The pattern can also contain other text: 

            +name@+domainname
            "+firstname +lastname"

Sometimes you might need to enclose the token identifier between "+{" and "}"

For example, the following pattern won't work right:

prefix+namesuffix

But this will:

prefix+{name}suffix

If you need to include a '+' in your pattern, you'll have to use "process" instead.

process $text
Process a block of text, performing pattern substitutions as they're found.

process is slower than generate, as process uses Parse::RecDescent.

To escape '+', simply repeat it. For example, to produce "2 + 2" you would submit:

2 ++ 2

Please see "generate" for more information.

source
Return the generator source for this instance.

lorem
A Text::Lorem::More singleton.
