=head1 NAME

Data::GUID - globally unique identifiers

=head1 VERSION

version 0.047

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Data::GUID;

  my $guid = Data::GUID->new;

  my $string = $guid->as_string; # or "$guid"

  my $other_guid = Data::GUID->from_string($string);

  if (($guid <=> $other_guid) == 0) {
    print "They're the same!\n";
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Data::GUID provides a simple interface for generating and using globally unique
identifiers.

=head1 GETTING A NEW GUID

=head2 new

  my $guid = Data::GUID->new;

This method returns a new globally unique identifier.

=head1 GUIDS FROM EXISTING VALUES

These method returns a new Data::GUID object for the given GUID value.  In all
cases, these methods throw an exception if given invalid input.

=head2 from_string

  my $guid = Data::GUID->from_string("B0470602-A64B-11DA-8632-93EBF1C0E05A");

=head2 from_hex

  # note that a hex guid is a guid string without hyphens and with a leading 0x
  my $guid = Data::GUID->from_hex("0xB0470602A64B11DA863293EBF1C0E05A");

=head2 from_base64

  my $guid = Data::GUID->from_base64("sEcGAqZLEdqGMpPr8cDgWg==");

=head2 from_data_uuid

This method returns a new Data::GUID object if given a Data::UUID value.
Because Data::UUID values are not blessed and because Data::UUID provides no
validation method, this method will only throw an exception if the given data
is of the wrong size.

=head1 IDENTIFYING GUIDS

=head2 string_guid_regex

=head2 hex_guid_regex

=head2 base64_guid_regex

These methods return regex objects that match regex strings of the appropriate
type.

=head2 from_any_string

  my $string = get_string_from_ether;

  my $guid = Data::GUID->from_any_string($string);

This method returns a Data::GUID object for the given string, trying all known
string interpretations.  An exception is thrown if the value is not a valid
GUID string.

=head2 best_guess

  my $value = get_value_from_ether;

  my $guid = Data::GUID->best_guess($value);

This method returns a Data::GUID object for the given value, trying everything
it can.  It works like C<L</from_any_string>>, but will also accept Data::UUID
values.  (In effect, this means that any sixteen byte value is acceptable.)

=head1 GUIDS INTO STRINGS

These methods return various string representations of a GUID.

=head2 as_string

This method returns a "traditional" GUID/UUID string representation.  This is
five hexadecimal strings, delimited by hyphens.  For example:

  B0470602-A64B-11DA-8632-93EBF1C0E05A

This method is also used to stringify Data::GUID objects.

=head2 as_hex

This method returns a plain hexadecimal representation of the GUID, with a
leading C<0x>.  For example:

  0xB0470602A64B11DA863293EBF1C0E05A

=head2 as_base64

This method returns a base-64 string representation of the GUID.  For example:

  sEcGAqZLEdqGMpPr8cDgWg==

=head1 OTHER METHODS

=head2 compare_to_guid

This method compares a GUID to another GUID and returns -1, 0, or 1, as do
other comparison routines.

=head2 as_binary

This method returns the packed binary representation of the GUID.  At present
this method relies on Data::GUID's underlying use of Data::UUID.  It is not
guaranteed to continue to work the same way, or at all.  I<Caveat invocator>.

=head1 IMPORTING

Data::GUID does not export any subroutines by default, but it provides a few
routines which will be imported on request.  These routines may be called as
class methods, or may be imported to be called as subroutines.  Calling them by
fully qualified name is incorrect.

  use Data::GUID qw(guid);

  my $guid = guid;             # OK
  my $guid = Data::GUID->guid; # OK
  my $guid = Data::GUID::guid; # NOT OK

=head2 guid

This routine returns a new Data::GUID object.

=head2 guid_string

This returns the string representation of a new GUID.

=head2 guid_hex

This returns the hex representation of a new GUID.

=head2 guid_base64

This returns the base64 representation of a new GUID.

=head2 guid_from_anything

This returns the result of calling the C<L</from_any_string>> method.

=head1 TODO

=over 4

=item *

add namespace support

=item *

remove dependency on wretched Data::UUID

=item *

make it work on 5.005
