Thank you , I have implemented that into y code . But upon testing , I fear that the pasword generator would unluckily input a \ at the end of a password and it would cause the script to fail. Example  my $newpassword='1232!@#%][)(+/n)(\' fails in my script .Thus I thought it would be more prudent to select from safe symbols that wont fail no matter in what combination they are used.Hence why I need my above sample script to work and present a password with selected special character values everytime it runs
