Is there something like a lorem ipsum generator? Is there something like a 'lorem ipsum generator'? I know it exists in Latex, and even in LibreOffice, but I'm looking for a terminal command. I would like to type something like `loremipsum 10 >> file1.txt` that would give me the first 10 paragraphs of lorem ipsum, each paragraph ended with one LF-character and 1 empty white line between each paragaph. And the output would be redirected to a file called file1.txt in the current directory.

You can use the perl library `libtext-lorem-perl`. Here a short example, feel free to expand it to parse command line arguments, etc.


#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Text::Lorem;

my $text = Text::Lorem->new();
$paragraphs = $text->paragraphs(10);

print $paragraphs;
