use strict;

sub generate_slug {
  my $title = shift;

  # Convert the title to lowercase
  $title = lc $title;

  # Replace spaces with dashes
  $title =~ s/s+/-/g;

  # Remove non-alphanumeric characters
  $title =~ s/[^a-z0-9-]+//g;

  return $title;
}

my $title = "My Great Article";
my $slug = generate_slug($title);

print "$slug
";

This code defines a generate_slug function that takes a title as input, converts it to lowercase, replaces spaces with dashes, and removes non-alphanumeric characters. The resulting string is the URL slug.
