Text::Password::Pronounceable - Generate pronounceable passwords

  # Generate a pronounceable password that is between 6 and 10 characters.
  Text::Password::Pronounceable->generate(6, 10);

  # Ditto
  my $pp = Text::Password::Pronounceable->new(6, 10);
  $pp->generate;

This module generates pronuceable passwords, based the the English digraphs by D Edwards.

new

  $pp = Text::Password::Pronounceable->new($min, $max);
  $pp = Text::Password::Pronounceable->new($len);

Construct a password factory with length limits of $min and $max. Or create a password factory with fixed length if only one argument is provided.

generate

  $pp->generate;
  $pp->generate($len);
  $pp->generate($min, $max);

  Text::Password::Pronounceable->generate($len);
  Text::Password::Pronounceable->generate($min, $max);

Generate password. If used as an instance method, arguments override the factory settings.
