You would need an array for each column:
my $MAX = 10;
my @first = ();
my @second = ();
my @third = ();
sub get_columns {
my $file = shift @_;
open my $fh, '<', $file or die "could not open $file: $!\n";
while( <$fh> ){
my @items = split;
push @first, $items[0];
push @second, $items[0];
push @third, $items[0];
}
close $fh or die "could not close $file: $!\n";
}
get_columns( 'insults2.txt' );
for ( 1 .. $MAX ){
my @line = (
@first[rand(@first)],
@second[rand(@second)],
@third[rand(@third)],
);
print "@line\n";
}
