WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random - Randomly fill out a HTML form field
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for example begin
use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller;
use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random;
my $f = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new();
# Create a random value for the HTML field "login"
my $login = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random->new( login => "root","administrator","corion" );
$f->add_value( login => $login );
# Alternatively take the following shorthand, which adds the
# field to the list as well :
# If there is no password, put a random one out of the list there
my $password = $f->add_filler( password => Random => "foo","bar","baz" );

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class provides a way to write a randomly chosen value into a HTML field.
=over 4
=item new NAME, LIST
Creates a new value which will correspond to the HTML field C<NAME>. The C<LIST>
is a list of items one of which will be returned for each call to C<value()>.
There is no persistence of these values. For items that can only take a finite
set of elements, a random element out of that list is taken by default.
=item name [NEWNAME]
Gets and sets the name of the HTML field this value corresponds to.
=item value FIELD
Returns the value to put into the HTML field.

=head2 EXPORT
