# I didn't feel like writing more articles, so I wrote this Perl script to generate all possible
# texts up to a certain length. Run this and Illogicopedia's done, pretty much.

use constant LENGTH => 1000; #Number of characters

gen("", LENGTH);

sub gen {
	my ($text, $lenleft) = @_;
	my $newtext;

	return if $lenleft <= 0;
