I: leveraging pam_cracklib to test code

I've written a perl script to generate secure passwords that attempt to be
easier for people to remember.  I need to make sure that linux systems
will accept the passwords as meeting minimum requirements.  Is there a way
to write a quick test script/program to execute my password generating
script and then have pam_cracklib verify that it's secure according to
it's defaults?

I supposed I could just change my accounts password a bunch of times, but
that seems overkill.

Thanks,
