I don't think this has anything to do with Debian, but it's only a few seconds of programming, so... ---CUT-HERE--- #!/usr/bin/perl # Program to output lines of file in random order # Read File while (<>) { push(foo, $_); } # Shuffle lines srand; for (0..$#foo) { $r = rand($#foo+1); ($foo[$r], $foo[$_]) = ($foo[$_], $foo[$r]); } # Print it out for (0..$#foo) { print $foo[$_]; } ---CUT-HERE---
