If you have time try reading the chapter on sets in 'Mastering Algorithms
in Perl' (the wolf book). That should get you started.

If you are in a rush, use a regular expression matched over a list of your
pairs (for example with the perl grep function). Use your first random
choice to initalize a variable in the regexp pattern.
