This module provides the creation of version 1 time based UUIDs (using random multicast MAC addresses), version 3 MD5 based UUIDs, version 4 random UUIDs, and version 5 SHA-1 based UUIDs. ATTENTION! UUID::Tiny uses Perl's C<rand()> to create the basic random numbers, so the created v4 UUIDs are B<not> cryptographically strong! No fancy OO interface, no plethora of different UUID representation formats and transformations - just string and binary. Conversion, test and time functions equally accept UUIDs and UUID strings, so don't bother to convert UUIDs for them! Continuing with 1.0x versions all constants and public functions are exported by default, but this will change in the future (see below). UUID::Tiny deliberately uses a minimal functional interface for UUID creation (and conversion/testing), because in this case OO looks like overkill to me and makes the creation and use of UUIDs unnecessarily complicated. If you need raw performance for UUID creation, or the real MAC address in version 1 UUIDs, or an OO interface, and if you can afford module compilation and installation on the target system, then better look at other CPAN UUID modules like L<Data::UUID>. This module is "fork safe", especially for random UUIDs (it works around Perl's rand() problem when forking processes). This module is currently B<not> "thread safe". Even though I've incorporated some changes proposed by Michael G. Schwern (thanks!), Digest::MD5 and Digest::SHA seem so have trouble with threads. There is a test file for threads, but it is de-activated. So use at your own risk! =cut =head1 DEPENDENCIES This module should run from Perl 5.8 up and uses mostly standard (5.8 core) modules for its job. No compilation or installation required. These are the modules UUID::Tiny depends on: Carp Digest::MD5 Perl 5.8 core Digest::SHA Perl 5.10 core (or Digest::SHA1, or Digest::SHA::PurePerl) MIME::Base64 Perl 5.8 core Time::HiRes Perl 5.8 core POSIX Perl 5.8 core If you are using this module on a Perl prior to 5.10 and you don't have Digest::SHA1 installed, you can use Digest::SHA::PurePerl instead. =cut =head1 ATTENTION! NEW STANDARD INTERFACE After some debate I'm convinced that it is more Perlish (and far easier to write) to use all-lowercase function names - without exceptions. And that it is more polite to export symbols only on demand. While the 1.0x versions will continue to export the old, "legacy" interface on default, the future standard interface is available using the C<:std> tag on import from version 1.02 on: use UUID::Tiny ':std'; my $md5_uuid = create_uuid(UUID_MD5, $str); In preparation for future version of UUID::Tiny you have to use the C<:legacy> tag if you want to stay with the version 1.0 interface: use UUID::Tiny ':legacy'; my $md5_uuid = create_UUID(UUID_V3, $str); =cut use Exporter; our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT; our @EXPORT_OK; our %EXPORT_TAGS = ( std => [qw( UUID_NIL UUID_NS_DNS UUID_NS_URL UUID_NS_OID UUID_NS_X500 UUID_V1 UUID_TIME UUID_V3 UUID_MD5 UUID_V4 UUID_RANDOM UUID_V5 UUID_SHA1 UUID_SHA1_AVAIL create_uuid create_uuid_as_string is_uuid_string uuid_to_string string_to_uuid version_of_uuid time_of_uuid clk_seq_of_uuid equal_uuids )], legacy => [qw( UUID_NIL UUID_NS_DNS UUID_NS_URL UUID_NS_OID UUID_NS_X500 UUID_V1 UUID_V3 UUID_V4 UUID_V5 UUID_SHA1_AVAIL create_UUID create_UUID_as_string is_UUID_string UUID_to_string string_to_UUID version_of_UUID time_of_UUID clk_seq_of_UUID equal_UUIDs )], ); Exporter::export_tags('legacy'); Exporter::export_ok_tags('std'); =head1 CONSTANTS =cut =over 4 =item B<NIL UUID> This module provides the NIL UUID (shown with its string representation): UUID_NIL: '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' =cut use constant UUID_NIL => "\x00" x 16; =item B<Pre-defined Namespace UUIDs> This module provides the common pre-defined namespace UUIDs (shown with their string representation): UUID_NS_DNS: '6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8' UUID_NS_URL: '6ba7b811-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8' UUID_NS_OID: '6ba7b812-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8' UUID_NS_X500: '6ba7b814-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8' =cut use constant UUID_NS_DNS => "\x6b\xa7\xb8\x10\x9d\xad\x11\xd1\x80\xb4\x00\xc0\x4f\xd4\x30\xc8"; use constant UUID_NS_URL => "\x6b\xa7\xb8\x11\x9d\xad\x11\xd1\x80\xb4\x00\xc0\x4f\xd4\x30\xc8"; use constant UUID_NS_OID => "\x6b\xa7\xb8\x12\x9d\xad\x11\xd1\x80\xb4\x00\xc0\x4f\xd4\x30\xc8"; use constant UUID_NS_X500 => "\x6b\xa7\xb8\x14\x9d\xad\x11\xd1\x80\xb4\x00\xc0\x4f\xd4\x30\xc8"; =item B<UUID versions> This module provides the UUID version numbers as constants: UUID_V1 UUID_V3 UUID_V4 UUID_V5 With C<use UUID::Tiny ':std';> you get additional, "speaking" constants: UUID_TIME UUID_MD5 UUID_RANDOM UUID_SHA1 =cut use constant UUID_V1 => 1; use constant UUID_TIME => 1; use constant UUID_V3 => 3; use constant UUID_MD5 => 3; use constant UUID_V4 => 4; use constant UUID_RANDOM => 4; use constant UUID_V5 => 5; use constant UUID_SHA1 => 5; =item B<UUID_SHA1_AVAIL> my $uuid = create_UUID( UUID_SHA1_AVAIL? UUID_V5 : UUID_V3, $str ); This function returns 1 if a module to create SHA-1 digests could be loaded, 0 otherwise. UUID::Tiny (since version 1.02) tries to load Digest::SHA, Digest::SHA1 or Digest::SHA::PurePerl, but does not die if none of them is found. Instead C<create_UUID()> and C<create_UUID_as_string()> die when trying to create an SHA-1 based UUID without an appropriate module available. =cut sub UUID_SHA1_AVAIL { return defined $SHA1_CALCULATOR ? 1 : 0; } =back =cut =head1 FUNCTIONS All public functions are exported by default (they should not collide with other functions). C<create_UUID()> creates standard binary UUIDs in network byte order (MSB first), C<create_UUID_as_string()> creates the standard string representation of UUIDs.

For v3 and v5 UUIDs a C<SCALAR> (normally a string), C<GLOB> ("classic" file handle) or C<IO> object (i.e. C<IO::File>) can be used; files have to be opened for reading. I found no hint if and how UUIDs should be created from file content.
