Guaranteed interesting one-liners!

Hi,
I am trying to write a simple perl script, that writes a text file in my
home directory for evolution to pick up as an email signature.

Now I am being picky and want to be able to include plain text
formatting (carriage returns) in the quotes it will append to my
standard signature information, so having a database file with one line
per quote is not going to work, does any one know of an existing tool or
am I writing from scratch.

Theres an idea... create your own fortune file and get fortune to pull a quote from that file only. Then just setup a cronjob to replace your .sig every few minutes/hours :)
