Hello!
Again with my script requests, this time I'm wondering if anybody
has ever felt like writing a shell script that makes it easy to write
rhymes,
poems or just make up funny lines.
http://www.rhymer.com is a great place, but unfortunately it requires
a browser.
Or maybe this is a feature that extends beyond the purpose of shell
scripting,
and that maybe for such I should start looking into languages like Ruby?
Hoping for generous expert advise.
Thank you, peasants and poets :)

Hmm, maybe you could use LWP (libwww-perl) to execute search queries to
a site like rhyme.poetry.com and then get the results in an array and do
whatever you want with the output. Basically LWP is capable of printing
out the raw HTML format, so a little bit of handy dandy perl functions
would help a lot. LWP is a very nice perl module, and I suggest you look
into that if you want to use an existing site to get your rhymes out.
Cheers,
Jorn
