       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.

   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 create a password factory with fixed length if only one argument
	   is provided.

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

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

	   Generate password. If used as an instance method, arguments override the factory settings.
