NAME

WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date - Fill a timestamp into an HTML form field

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller;
  use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date;

  my $f = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new();

  # Create a random value for the HTML field "born"

  my $born = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date->new(
    born => string => '%Y%m%d', min => '20000101', max => '20373112' );
  $f->add_value( born => $born );

  # Alternatively take the following shorthand, which adds the
  # field to the list as well :

  # If there is no password, put a random one out of the list there
  my $last_here = $f->add_filler( last_here => Random::Date => string => '%H%M%S', min => '000000', max => 'now');

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a way to write a randomly chosen value into a HTML field.

new NAME, %ARGS: Creates a new value which will correspond to the HTML field NAME. The allowed %ARGS are; The min and max time stamps must be in the same format as the string supplies.; WARNING; The algorithm to implement min and max barriers is very simplicistic - it tries as many random values as necessary to meet the two criteria. This means that your script may enter an infinite loop if the criteria can never be attained or are too little apart.
name [NEWNAME]: Gets and sets the name of the HTML field this value corresponds to.
value FIELD: Returns the value to put into the HTML field.

EXPORT

None by default.
