LDAP user password reset script

Hey all,

I'm looking for a script to auto-generate a password for users that forget their password.

Currently, we are using a perl script (with cgi-bin) where users update their password, but would like to add to this and make it so that the users can also request a password reset and a generated password is emailed to the user and then they can go and update this on their own.

Does this make sense?
