Crypt::RandPasswd - random password generator based on FIPS-181

By John Porter (JDPORTER@cpan.org)

This is an implementation of the Automated Password Generator standard, defined in FIPS Publication 181, "Standard for Automated Password Generator": http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip181.htm

        use Crypt::RandPasswd;
        ( $word, $hyphenated ) = Crypt::RandPasswd::word( $minlen, $maxlen );
        $word = Crypt::RandPasswd::word( $minlen, $maxlen );
        $word = Crypt::RandPasswd::letters( $minlen, $maxlen );
        $word = Crypt::RandPasswd::chars( $minlen, $maxlen );

        # override the defaults for these functions:
        *Crypt::RandPasswd::rng = \&my_random_number_generator;
        *Crypt::RandPasswd::restrict = \&my_restriction_filter;

The module file can also be run directly as a script:

# To print the usage statement:
% perl Crypt/RandPasswd.pm -help

# To print out one password using the default parameter values: % perl Crypt/RandPasswd.pm
