Hello:
I'd like to say thanks (although somewhat belated) to everyone to responded
to my question regarding password generation. You have all been very
helpful. I got my program working the way I wanted it to. Thanks again.

This was found using PPM
Crypt-RandPasswd [0.02 ] random password generator based on FIPS-181
Depending on your requirements I would probably use MD5 to generate a
hash based on a large amount of random data achieved from the computer.
And then I'd run a Base64 over the top to normalize any binary data into
human readable form. In this manner you can take advantage of OS
specific mechanisms of obtaining random input (Intel has an RNG
implementation on the chips)
Crypt-PasswdMD5 [1.1 ] Provides interoperable MD5-based crypt()
