NAME
WordListRole::RandomSeekPick - Provide a pick() implementation that
random-seeks DATA
VERSION
This document describes version 0.004 of WordListRole::RandomSeekPick
(from Perl distribution WordListRole-RandomSeekPick), released on
2020-05-23.
DESCRIPTION
The default WordList's "pick()" performs a scan on the whole word list
once while collecting random items. This role provides an alternative
implementation that random-seeks on DATA, discard the line fragment,
then get the next line. This algorithm does not provide uniformly random
picking, but for many cases it should be random enough. It is faster if
you have a huge word list and just want to pick one or a few items.
Note: since this role's "pick()" operates on the DATA filehandle
directly instead of using "each_word()", it cannot be used on dynamic
wordlists.
PROVIDED METHODS
pick
