String::Random is used to generate random strings. It was written to make generating random passwords and such a little easier. See the documentation in pod format in the module for more information. This module requires Perl5. Any version should work, but it has only been tested on recent versions (5.6.1 and 5.8.0). To install the module, simply do the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install ****** PLEASE NOTE ****** This module is still somewhat experimental. I'm trying to determine exactly what the feature set of the module should be. Please send suggestions, bug reports, comments, etc. to the author, Steven Pritchard .
