randomize.pl is a small script I wrote, which does about the opposite of the sort-command in unix. sort reads all lines from a file (or stdin), sorts them and returns the result on stdout.
randomize.pl reads all lines from a file (or more files) or stdin, randomizes the order of the lines, and returns the output on stdout. I have found this usefull when working with MP3 playlists, but also other line-based files that need to be randomized.
