Insult generation.
sub insult { my $r = rand(); if ($r < 0.3) { return "You are " . bad() . "."; } elsif ($r < 0.60) { return others() . " cannot believe how " . bad() . " you are."; } elsif ($r < 0.90) { return "If I had " . money() . " for every time you " . didsomethi +ngstupid() . ", I would be rich."; } else { return insult() . " " . insult(); } }
etc. There are a ton of ways of doing it, some more flexible than others, so you could probably explore a whole series of successive "improvements". The language you use doesn't matter all that much either. (Especially if you print everything out immediately instead of returning it.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
