NAME
Tie::DataUUID - tie interface to Data::UUID;
SYNOPSIS
use Tie::DataUUID;
tie my $uuid, "Tie::DataUUID";
print "A uuid is $uuid, another is $uuid\n"
DESCRIPTION
A simple tie interface to the Data::UUID module. Yes, this doesn't do
much - it's just me being to lazy when I have to keep creating UUIDs
from within strings.
To be really totally and utterly lazy you can use the exporting
interface that exports the $uuid variable so you don't even have to tie
things yourself:
use Tie::DataUUID qw($uuid);
print "A uuid is $uuid, another is $uuid\n"
In both cases the standard UUID string (that looks like
'E63E9204-9516-11D8-9C9F-AE87831498F6') are produced.
