=head1 NAME

Data::Unixish::randstr - Generate a stream of random strings

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 1.48 of Data::Unixish::randstr (from Perl distribution Data-Unixish), released on 2014-12-10.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

In command line:

 % dux randstr
 trWFSsAwZH4Cli90

 % dux randstr --min-len 1 --max-len 5 --charset AZ -n 5
 WXY
 KQDCG
 MGS

=head1 FUNCTIONS


=head2 randstr(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Generate a stream of random strings.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

=over 4

=item * B<charset> => I<str> (default: "AZaz09")

Character set to use.

C<az> is basic Latin lowercase letters. C<AZ> uppercase letters. C<AZaz> lowercase
and uppercase letters. C<AZaz09> lowercase + uppercase letters + Arabic numbers.
C<09> numbers.

=item * B<in> => I<array>

Input stream (e.g. array or filehandle).

=item * B<max_len> => I<int> (default: 16)

Maximum possible length (inclusive).

=item * B<min_len> => I<int> (default: 16)

Minimum possible length (inclusive).

=item * B<num> => I<int> (default: 1)

Number of strings to generate, -1 means infinite.

=item * B<out> => I<any>

Output stream (e.g. array or filehandle).

=back

Return value:

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code
(200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element
(msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is
200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth
element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash
that contains extra information.

 (any)

=head1 TODO

More choices in character sets: full ASCII, Unicode, etc.

Allow users to specify their own charset.
