The password list is taken from InfoSecDaily at . (They claim their list is over 62K, but they must have misread their "wc" output.) USAGE Functions are provided via Sub::Exporter. Nothing is exported by default. found found($password); Returns true if the password is in the common passwords list. CUSTOMIZING You may choose an alternate password list to check by passing a "list" parameter during import: use Data::Password::Common found => { list => "/usr/share/dict/words" }; The file must be sorted.
