# The devel/p5-Data-UUID port

## p5-Data-UUID-1.217p0 – extension for generating GUIDs/UUIDs

## Description

    This module provides a framework for generating UUIDs (Universally
    Unique Identifiers, also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). A
    UUID is 128 bits long, and is guaranteed to be different from all other
    UUIDs/GUIDs generated until 3400 A.D. UUIDs were originally used in the
    Network Computing System (NCS) and later in the Open Software
    Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment. Currently many
    different technologies rely on UUIDs to provide unique identity for
    various software components, Microsoft COM/DCOM for instance, uses GUIDs
    very extensively to uniquely identify classes, applications and
    components across network-connected systems.
