   Perl, cpanm and Hailo. Set a nonsense.txt text file   
   with one sentence per line. Like this:   
      
   rm -rf boosts performance under Ubuntu.   
   fedora it's updated with apt-get dist-upgrade.   
   openbsd works fine with ZFS.   
      
   And so on...   
      
   $>cpanm -n Hailo   
   $>Hailo -t nonsense.txt -b output.brn   
      
   Now, create a simple Perl program (really easy with   
   Hailo and trivial input/output).   
      
   Run 'perldoc Hailo' once it's installed for a quick   
   usage guide.   
      
   Redirect that outputted nonsense to a file:   
      
   perl yourhailoscript.pl > crap.txt   
      
   Have fun.
