Werder - Meaningless gibberish generator
----------------------------------------
This module is used to create pronounceable yet completely
meaningless language. It is good for sending to a text-
to-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.
