NAME

UUID::Generator::PurePerl::Compat - Compatible interface to Data::UUID

SYNOPSIS

  use UUID::Generator::PurePerl::Compat;
  
  $ug = UUID::Generator::PurePerl::Compat->new();
  
  $uuid1 = $ug->create();
  $uuid2 = $ug->create_from_name(<namespace>, <name>);
  
  $res = $ug->compare($uuid1, $uuid2);
  
  $str  = $ug->to_string( $uuid );
  $uuid = $ug->from_string( $str );

DESCRIPTION

This class provides compatibility layer to Data::UUID.

If you want to know functionality of each method, Please refer to Data::UUID.

METHODS

Following methods and constants are implemented:

$ug = CLASS->new()

$ug->create()

$ug->create_bin()

$ug->create_hex()

$ug->create_b64()

$ug->create_from_name(<namespace>, <name>)

$ug->create_from_name_bin(<namespace>, <name>)

$ug->create_from_name_hex(<namespace>, <name>)

$ug->create_from_name_b64(<namespace>, <name>)

$ug->to_string(<uuid>)

$ug->to_hexstring(<uuid>)

$ug->to_b64string(<uuid>)

$ug->from_string(<uuid_str>)

$ug->from_hexstring(<uuid_str>)

$ug->from_b64string(<uuid_str>)

$ug->compare(<uuid1>, <uuid2>)

NameSpace_DNS()

NameSpace_URL()

NameSpace_OID()

NameSpace_X500()

NOTICE

As written in "NOTICE ABOUT PORTABILITY" in UUID::Object, binary and Base64 form of UUIDs generated by Data::UUID depend on endian of platform.

This module inherits that behavior of Data::UUID, so UUIDs generated with those methods, such like create_bin() and create_from_name_b64(), may not be compatible over machines.
