WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars - Fill characters into an HTML form field
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for example begin
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' );
