NAME

APR::UUID - Perl API for manipulating APR UUIDs

Synopsis

  use APR::UUID ();


  # get a random UUID and format it as a string
  my $uuid = APR::UUID->new->format;
  # $uuid = e.g. 'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6';


  # same as the object returned by APR::UUID->new
  my $uuid_parsed = APR::UUID->parse($uuid);

Description

CWAPR::UUID is used to get and manipulate random UUIDs.

It allows you to CWcreate random UUIDs, which when CWformatted returns a string like: 

  'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6';

which can be parsed back into the CWAPR::UUID object with CWCIparse()CW.

API

CWAPR::UUID provides the following functions and/or methods: Convert an CWAPR::UUID object object into a string presentation: 

  my $uuid_str = $uuid->format;
returns a string representation of the object (.e.g CW'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6').
since: 2.0.00
Create a CWAPR::UUID object using the random engine: 

  my $uuid = APR::UUID->new;
since: 2.0.00
  $uuid->DESTROY;
ret: no return value
since: 2.0.00

Do not call this method, it's designed to be only called by Perl when the variable goes out of scope. If you call it yourself you will get a segfault when perl will call DESTROY on its own. Convert a UUID string into an CWAPR::UUID object object: 

  $uuid = APR::UUID->parse($uuid_str)
UUID string (.e.g CW'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6') The new object.
since: 2.0.00
