I've got two versions. The one one intel is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use POSIX;

@mods = <>;

for(;;)
{
        $n = floor(rand(@mods));

        print $mods[$n]."\n";
        if (rand(2) < 1.0)
        {
                system('rmmod ' . $mods[$n]);
        }
        else
        {
                system('modprobe ' . $mods[$n]);
        }
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
invoked as:
lsmod | awk '{ print $1; }' | ./pyk-perl.mod


The script I used on the power5-platform is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use POSIX;

@mods = <>;

fork();
fork();

srand(time() ^ getpid() ^ getppid());

for(;;)
{
        $n = floor(rand(@mods));

        print $mods[$n]."\n";
        if (rand(2) < 1.0)
        {
                system('rmmod ' . $mods[$n]);
        }
        else
        {
                system('modprobe ' . $mods[$n]);
        }
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
invoked as:
lsmod | grep -v -e ibmveth -v -e windfarm_cpufreq_clamp | awk '{ print $1; }' | ./pyk-perl.mod

I'm removing ibmveth from the list or else I would loose connection
during tests and windfarm_cpufreq_clamp because the script would hang
during a modprobe on that. Maybe something to investigate later.
