💖 Text::Password::Pronounceable 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's all about Text::Password::Pronounceable — the module that makes passwords you can actually say out loud. no keyboard-smash core. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Text::Password::Pronounceable — Generate pronounceable passwords 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

# Generate a pronounceable password that is between 6 and 10 characters.
Text::Password::Pronounceable->generate(6, 10);

# Ditto
my $pp = Text::Password::Pronounceable->new(6, 10);
$pp->generate;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module generates pronuceable passwords, based the the English digraphs by D Edwards. yes literally. it's giving "password but make it sayable" 💅

🧚 METHODS

💜 new

$pp = Text::Password::Pronounceable->new($min, $max);
$pp = Text::Password::Pronounceable->new($len);

Construct a password factory with length limits of $min and $max. Or, if you hand it just one argument, you get a password factory with a fixed length instead. your factory, your rules, queen 👑

💜 generate

$pp->generate;
$pp->generate($len);
$pp->generate($min, $max);

Text::Password::Pronounceable->generate($len);
Text::Password::Pronounceable->generate($min, $max);

Generate password. that's it, that's the whole job. 🫶

If you use it as an instance method, the arguments you pass override the factory settings — so you can switch up the vibe on the fly, no cap.

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

This code derived from mpw.pl, a bit of code with a sordid history. 😭 honestly the lore goes deep:

• CPAN module by Chia-liang Kao 9/11/2006.
• Perl cleaned up a bit by Jesse Vincent 1/14/2001.
• Converted to perl from C by Marc Horowitz, 1/20/2000.
• Converted to C from Multics PL/I by Bill Sommerfeld, 4/21/86.
• Original PL/I version provided by Jerry Saltzer.

like… from PL/I to Multics to C to Perl to CPAN? the way this little password generator has a whole ancestry 💀 iconic behavior fr fr.
