Here's a little code snippet that might help you on your way
this will generate a random pwd of letters and number between 4 and 8 chars.
sub usrpwd { #usage $var=usrpwd();
my @letters = ('a'..'z');
my $string;
for (0..int(rand(4) + 4)) {
$_ = int(rand(2));
if (/0/) {
$string .= $letters[rand(26)];
} else {
$string .= int(rand(10));
}
} #for
return $string;
} #sub
