💖 Data::Fake::Internet 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Data::Fake::Internet — it's the little Perl module that makes up fake Internet-related data for you. yes, fake. no, you're not catfishing anyone, it's for testing. chill. 🦋

---

✨ VERSION ✨

This is version 0.006. she's got lore, she's got history. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe, literally copy-paste energy:

use Data::Fake::Internet;

fake_tld()->();     # .gov, etc.
fake_domain()->();  # atqueaut.gov, etc.
fake_email()->();   # john.smith@atqueaut.gov, etc.

see that double-call thing? fake_tld() gives you a generator, and then ->() actually runs it and gives you the fake data. it's giving factory pattern, iykyk. 🎀

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so basically this module hands you fake data generators for Internet-related stuff. domains, emails, tlds, the whole aesthetic. 🌈

and here's the part that matters: all functions are exported by default. you don't gotta ask for them, they just show up. main character energy fr fr. 👑

💅 FUNCTIONS 💅

🦋 fake_tld

$generator = fake_tld();

returns a generator that randomly selects from a weighted list of about 50 domain suffixes. and the weighting? it's based on a list of the top 500 domains by inbound root-domain links. so it's not just random chaos, it's statistically random chaos. iconic. ✨

🍓 fake_domain

$generator = fake_domain();

returns a generator that concatenates two random words and slaps a random domain suffix on the end. two words plus a tld equals a whole domain. slay. 💖

🎀 fake_email

$generator = fake_email();

returns a generator that constructs an email out of a random name and a random domain. put together, done, email. no cap. 📧
