Here's one I use, which you can easily adapt to read the strings from a file. 
I've removed the taglines I use, just fill in @tags and perhaps print some 
fixed strings at the end.

#! /usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use Text::Wrap;

my @tags = (
	# Put strings here
        );

my $l = 0 + @tags;

$Text::Wrap::columns = 72;
print "-- \n"; # email signature delimiter
print wrap('','',$tags[int(rand($l))]) . "\n";
# Print other static content if you wish
