So the UNIX machine isn’t connected to an internet connection so I had to write it down and type it in to the windows machine. Thanks for the help.
Here is the output:

Code:
++ dir=$’\r’
++ count=$’\r’
++ ‘[‘ $ ‘\r’ ‘]’
++ ‘[‘ –gto ‘]’
./random_select.sh: line 4: [:-gt:unary operator expected
++ ‘[‘ ‘!’ –d$ ‘\r’ ‘]’
: no such directory ‘lect.sh
:no such directory
++ exit

use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller; use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars; my $f = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new(); # Create a random value for the HTML field "login" my $login = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars->new( login => set => 'alpha', min => 3, max => 8 ); $f->add_value( login => $login ); # Alternatively take the following shorthand, which adds the # field to the list as well : # If there is no password, put a random one out of the list there my $password = $f->add_filler( password => 'Random::Chars' ); DESCRIPTION
This class provides a way to write a randomly chosen value into a HTML field. new NAME, LIST Creates a new value which will correspond to the HTML field "NAME". The "LIST" is the list of arguments passed to Data::Random::rand_chars. If the list is empty, "set => 'alpha', min => 5, max => 8" is assumed. name [NEWNAME] Gets and sets the name of the HTML field this value corresponds to. value FIELD Returns the value to put into the HTML field.
