Workflow::Persister::UUID - Persister to generate Universally Unique Identifiers


NAME

Workflow::Persister::UUID - Persister to generate Universally Unique Identifiers


SYNOPSIS

 <persister
     name="MyPersister"
     use_uuid="yes"
 ...


DESCRIPTION

Implementation for any persister to generate a UUID/GUID ID string. The resulting string is 36 characters long and, according to the implementation docs, ``is guaranteed to be different from all other UUIDs/GUIDs generated until 3400 CE.''

This uses the the Data::UUID manpage module to generate the UUID string, so look there if you are curious about the algorithm, efficiency, etc.
