Create 'n' number random pairwise combination of words

File 1 contains the list of words that needed to be randomly paired:

Code:
Tiger
Cat 
Fish
Frog
Dog
Mouse
Elephant
Monkey

File 2 contains the pairs that should not be used (in any solution) during random pairing.

Code:
Elephant-Dog
Cat-Fish
Monkey-Frog

Dog-Elephant, Fish-Cat, Frog-Monkey should also be deleted as their pair appeared in File2 (irrespective to direction)
I need total 6 solutions and in every solution, there should be maximum of 5 pairs.
Tiger-Cat and Cat-Tiger should be treated as same and if they appear together in any solution one should be deleted.
Same pair such as Frog-Dog can be appear in many solutions.

The output looks like (here one one solution is given).

Code:
Tiger-Cat
Cat-Dog
Monkey-Cat
Frog-Dog
Elephant-Cat

Data::Random::WordList(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       Data::Random::WordList(3pm)

NAME
Data::Random::WordList - Perl module to get random words from a word list SYNOPSIS
use Data::Random::WordList; my $wl = new Data::Random::WordList( wordlist => '/usr/share/dict/words' ); my @rand_words = $wl->get_words(10); $wl->close(); DESCRIPTION
Data::Random::WordList is a module that manages a file containing a list of words. The module expects each line of the word list file to contain only one word. It could thus be easily used to select random lines from a file, but for coherency's sake, I'll keep referring to each line as a word. The module uses a persistent filehandle so that there isn't a lot of overhead every time you want to fetch a list of random words. However, it's much more efficient to grab multiple words at a time than it is to fetch one word at a time multiple times. The module also refrains from reading the whole file into memory, so it can be safer to use with larger files. METHODS
new() Returns a reference to a new Data::Random::WordList object. Use the "wordlist" param to initialize the object: o wordlist - the path to the wordlist file. If a path isn't supplied, the wordlist distributed with this module is used. get_words([NUM]) NUM contains the number of words you want from the wordlist. NUM defaults to 1 if it's not specified. get_words() dies if NUM is greater than the number of words in the wordlist. This function returns an array or an array reference depending on the context in which it's called. close() Closes the filehandle associated with the word list. It's good practice to do this every time you're done with the word list. VERSION
