I encountered an error
Use of uninitialized value $fname in concatenation (.) or string at ./namegen.pl line 43.
I'm getting the following errors:
$ perl namegen.pl -d 10 >> log.txt

Is this because of the missing census files too?
Yeah, same problem. I'm trying to find another copy of the file somewhere, then I'll put it in a place I control so they can't yank it again.
That would be good. For now I got it working using the 1990 census data ("http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/data/1990surnames/) instead.
I switched out the URL in the code for the 1990 names, so it works again.
