Question create a Random passwd

Hello Everyone,
I am wondering how to create a Random Password of 8 characters for a user. It has to be run in a script.
Also, The user have to be asked to change his/her password the first time they login.

I tried using genPass but seems like my system doesn't support that command.

For your info , I am a sort of new user.........

A prompt reply will be appreciated alot!

Thanks,
Ben

use Crypt::Random::Source::Factory; my $f = Crypt::Random::Source::Factory->new; my $strong = $f->get_strong; my $weak = $f->get_weak; my $any = $f->get; DESCRIPTION
This class implements a loading and instantiation factory for Crypt::Random::Source objects. If $ENV{CRYPT_RANDOM_NOT_PLUGGABLE} is set then only a preset list of sources will be tried. Otherwise Module::Find will be used to locate any installed sources, and use the first available one. METHODS
get %args Instantiate any random source, passing %args to the constructor. The "type" argument can be "weak", "strong" or "any". get_weak %args get_strong %args Instantiate a new weak or strong random source. AUTHOR
