SYNOPSIS use Faker; my $faker = Faker->new; my $company = $faker->provider('Company'); my $address = $faker->provider('Address'); say $company->name; say $address->lines; # or say $faker->company_name; say $faker->address_lines; DESCRIPTION Faker is a Perl library that generates fake data for you. Whether you need to bootstrap your database, create good-looking XML documents, fill-in your persistence to stress test it, or anonymize data taken from a production service, Faker makes it easy to generate fake data. Note: This is an early release available for testing and feedback and as such is subject to change. $faker->namespace('MyApp::FakeData'); The namespace attribute contains the namespace from which providers will be loaded. This attribute defaults to Faker::Provider. $faker->locale('en_US'); The locale attribute contains the locale string which is concatenated with the namespace attribute to load fake data which is locale-specific. $faker->provider('Company'); # Faker::Provider::en_US::Company The provider method uses the namespace and locale attributes to load a particular provider which provides methods to generate fake data. $faker->address_city_name; # Kirkville The address_city_name method generates a random ficticious city name.
