NAME

       WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars - Fill characters into an HTML form field

SYNOPSIS

	 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.

   EXPORT
