Chicken::Ipsum

— Some chicken, probably

Why?

Often when developing a website or other application, it's important to have placeholders for content. This module generates prescribed amounts of clucking, cawing and other chicken-y noises.

Usage

This module ships a binary, chicken-ipsum which generates paragraphs of text:

$ chicken-ipsum
Cluck-a-buh-gawk pukaaak cock-a-doodle-doo waaak puk honk... Cluck bok cluck cluck-a-buh-gawk cock-a-doodle-doo cluck cluckity! Cluck-a-buh-gawk honk waaak cluck bwak cock-a-doodle-doo honk. Waaak cluck-cluck-cluck cock-a-doodle-doo bwak pukaaak cluck-cluck-cluck cluck-cluck-cluck cluck-a-buh-gawk pukaaak. Bok pukaaak bok honk. Bwak cluckity bwwwaaaaaaaaaak bwok gobble-gobble bwok cluck cluck-a-buh-gawk bok cluck-cluck-cluck cluck pukaaak...

It accepts a single integer argument, being the number of paragraphs to generate.

You can also use the Chicken::Ipsum module in your code.

require Chicken::Ipsum;
my $ci = Chicken::Ipsum->new();
# Generate a string of text with 5 words
$words = $ci->words(5);
