If you use Linux/BSD you have Eliza under Alt-x (or Esc-x) doctor for Emacs. Also, under Perl set up cpanminus if you don't want to play with Emacs: curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus ~/perl5/bin/cpanm -n local::lib echo 'eval $(perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)' >> ~/.profile echo 'export PATH=$HOME/perl5/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile Logout and login again. Install rivescript: cpanm -n RiveSript Try Eliza under RiveScript: ~/perl5/bin/rivescript ~/perl5/lib/perl5/RiveScript/demo/ If you want to create your own chatbot in RiveScript, the language it's pretty easy and you can bind Perl functions, code and who knows to your bot, so if you ask for the weather, for instance, you could call an HTTP module for Perl to call wttr.in for instance. Happy Hacking.
