=head1 NAME
dr_permutate - print randomly permutated arguments or stdin
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<dr_permutate> I<arguments>
B<dr_permutate>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
When called with arguments, B<dr_permutate> returns its arguments in randomly
permutated order, space separated. When called without any arguments,
B<dr_permuate> expects a line-oriented file on stdin. It returns the contents of
this file, with lines randomly permutated.
=head1 EXAMPLE
Running
$ dr_permutate foo bar baz
could return
bar foo baz
. Running
$ cat <<EOF | dr_permutate
foo
bar
baz
could return
bar
foo
baz
.
=head1 HISTORY
This script was initially written on 2001-05-06.
=head1 BUGS
When called without any arguments, stdin is read in core entirely.
The GNU coreutils utility shuf(1) implements the same functionality in a
better way, you're probably better off using that.
