Data::SimplePassword - Simple random password generator

 use Data::SimplePassword;

 my $sp = Data::SimplePassword->new;
 $sp->chars( 0..9, 'a'..'z', 'A'..'Z' );    # optional

 my $password = $sp->make_password( 8 );    # length

YA very easy-to-use but a bit strong random password generator.

new

 my $sp = Data::SimplePassword->new;

Makes a Data::SimplePassword object.

provider

 $sp->provider("devurandom");    # optional

Sets a type of radmon number generator, see Crypt::Random::Provider::* for details.

chars

 $sp->chars( 0..9, 'a'..'z', 'A'..'Z' );    # default
 $sp->chars( 0..9, 'a'..'z', 'A'..'Z', qw(+ /) );    # b64-like
 $sp->chars( 0..9 );
 my @c = $sp->chars;    # returns the current values

Sets an array of characters you want to use as your password string.

make_password

 my $password = $sp->make_password( 8 );    # default
 my $password = $sp->make_password( 1024 );

Makes password string and just returns it. You can set the byte length as an integer.

A useful command named rndpassword(1) will be also installed. Type man rndpassword for details.
