generate() ends up in endless loop with (lowercase => [], uppercase => [], length => $length)

[jseplae]

Greetings,

I need to be able to generate only numeric passwords due to some silly requirements, but calling generate() after constructing the object like:

my pass = App::Genpass->new(lowercase => [], uppercase => [], length => $length);
return $pass->generate();

seems to cause a loop condition. According to short debugger runs, the generate() code hangs here:

verify $char_type

while ( ! any { $_ eq $char } @{ $self->$char_type } ) {
$char = $chars[ int rand @chars];
}

Am I approaching the numeric password generation right?

Edit: verify => 0 seems to be a workaround

I'll fix that asap. Thanks for reporting!

Fixed in 2.34, just released.

Thank you. :)
