in thread need to auto generate user/password info

Of course you could also use something like Crypt::PassGen (Crypt::PassGen - Generate a random password that looks like a real word). The generated passwords aren't perfect, but it usually suits me for non-critical things and the generated passwords are usually quite easy to remember, for the look like real words.

    Cool, I'll have to play with that a bit. I, of course, allow users to create their own passwords but I use an authorization process that requires them to use the system generated password to initialize their account. I chose passwdgen without too much thought, because it works and I'm familiar with it and needed a quick solution to the cruddy little hacked-up generator I had written from scratch.

    Thanks for the tip!
