=head1 NAME

Data::Password::Common - Check a password against a list of common passwords

=head1 VERSION

version 0.002

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Data::Password::Common 'found';

  if ( found( $password ) ) {
    die "'$password' is a common password"
  }

  # import with aliasing
  use Data::Password::Common found => { -as => "found_common" };

  # custom common password list
  use Data::Password::Common found => { list => "/usr/share/dict/words" };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module installs a list of over 620,000 common passwords and provides
a function to check a string against the list.

The password list is taken from InfoSecDaily at
L<http://www.isdpodcast.com/resources/62k-common-passwords/>. (They claim their
list is over 62K, but they must have misread their C<wc> output.)

=for Pod::Coverage build_finder

=head1 USAGE

Functions are provided via L<Sub::Exporter>.  Nothing is exported by default.

=head2 found

  found($password);

Returns true if the password is in the common passwords list.

=head1 CUSTOMIZING

You may choose an alternate password list to check by passing a C<list> parameter
during import:

  use Data::Password::Common found => { list => "/usr/share/dict/words" };

The file must be sorted.
