DESCRIPTION

This module generates fake data that people's name in Japanese and supports furigana, phonetic renderings of kanji.

The project name comes from Japanese '偽名' means a false name.

Deterministic Random

Data::Gimei supports seeding of its pseudo-random number generator to provide deterministic output of repeated method calls.

  Data::Gimei::set_random_seed(42);
  my $name = Data::Gimei::Name->new();
  $name->kanji;                    # "村瀬 零"
  $address = Data::Gimei::Address->new();
  $address->kanji;                 # "沖縄県那覇市祝子町"

  Data::Gimei::set_random_seed(42);
  my $name = Data::Gimei::Name->new();
  $name->kanji;                    # "村瀬 零"
  rand;                            # Do not change result by calling rand()
  $address = Data::Gimei::Address->new();
  $address->kanji;                 # "沖縄県那覇市祝子町"
