Next time search also on CPAN :) If you search password on CPAN, you will get the following modules:
- Crypt::GeneratePassword: generate secure random pronounceable passwords
- Data::Password: Perl extension for assesing password quality
These modules will give what you need and let you follow merlyn's suggestions. For example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Crypt::GeneratePassword;
use Data::Password qw(:all);
my $password = Crypt::GeneratePassword::word(8, 8);
$DICTIONARY = 4;
$GROUPS = 1;
$FOLLOWING_KEYBOARD = 1;
print "password $password ";
if (my $check = IsBadPassword($password)) {
print "not good, because $check\n";
} else {
print "is good\n";
}
Ciao, Valerio

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
