## NAME

Text::Password::Pronounceable - Generate pronounceable passwords

## 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.
