givemepwd - a random password generator

A simple Perl program that generates a random password of a specified length using alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-z, A-Z). If no length is specified, it defaults to 16 characters.

Requirements

• Perl 5 or higher.

No additional Perl modules are required.

Usage

Run the script from the command line:

perl givemepwd.pl [password length]

Examples

• To generate a password of 16 characters (default):

  perl givemepwd.pl

• To generate a password of 36 characters:

  perl givemepwd.pl 36

Help

To display help information, use the --help or -h flag:

perl givemepwd.pl --help

Notes

• If the password length is not provided or is invalid (non-positive integer), the script defaults to a length of 16.

• The password will include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.

• The script prints the generated password to the console in the format:

  Here you go >> [generated_password]

Example Output

For a password length of 12, you might see:

Here you go >> a8dZ5nX2bQp7
