✨ CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::Password ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::Password — a whole entire password field class, living its life in the Perl docs (3pm section, user contributed, as one does 💅).

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::Password — a password field. that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so here's the vibe, fr fr:

# Inherits from CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input
# $form is a CGI::Test::Form

my $passwd = $form->input_by_name("password");
$passwd->replace("foobar");

no cap, that's the whole thing. you grab it by name, you replace it. slay 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class models a password field. and what even is that? it's a text field whose input gets masked by the browser — you know, the lil dots or asterisks situation ✨ — but other than that whole masking thing, it behaves exactly like a regular text field. same energy, different costume 🎭

and because it's literally just a text field underneath, the interface is the same as the one described in CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::Text_Field. so if you know that one, you already know this one. iykyk 👑
