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.

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n RandomData
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries RandomData | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=RandomData -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::RandomData -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::RandomData::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
