NAME
    Acme::CPANModules::RandomData - List of modules for generating random
    (fake, mock) data

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.004 of Acme::CPANModules::RandomData
    (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-RandomData), released on
    2023-04-10.

DESCRIPTION
    Data::Random generates random number, random generated word, random
    dictionary word (default wordlist provided), date (in YYYY-MM-DD
    format), time (in HH::MM:SS format), datetime, image (just a blank PNG
    with random size and background color).

    Data::Maker can generate realistic fake data including IP address,
    email, password, person (first name, middle name, last name, SSN). It
    focuses on performance (200 records/sec number is cited).

    Data::Faker is yet another moduxsle, with plugins to generate company
    name, person name, date/time, phone number, street address,
    domain/IP/email/username.

    Mock::Data can generate several types of mock data including number,
    UUID, IP/hostname/email, date/time, text.

    Mock::Populate in non-plugin-based, can generate random image, string,
    name, date/time.

    Faker is another plugin-based random data generator. The included
    plugins can generate random street address, color, company name, company
    jargon/tagline, buzzwords, IP address, email address, domain name, text
    ("lorem ipsum ..."), credit card number, phone number, software name,
    username. However, some plugins are currently empty. The name plugin
    contains 3007 first names and 474 last names (probably copied from
    Data::Faker). There is no option to pick male/female names.

    Other: Text::Lorem.

    For more specific types of random data (person, password, etc), see
    other lists mentioned in the See Also section.

    Keywords: random data, fake data, mock data.
