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

APR::UUID is used to get and manipulate randow UUID.

It allows you to create|/C_new_ random UUID, which when format|/C_format_ted returns a string like:

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

which can be parsed back into the APR::UUID object with parse()|/C_parse_.

API

APR::UUID provides the following functions and/or methods:

`format`

Convert an APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID object into a string presentation:

  my $uuid_str = $uuid->format;

obj: $uuid ( APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID )
ret: $uuid_str: returns a string representation of the object (.e.g 'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6').
since: 1.99_12

`new`

Create a APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID using the random engine:

  my $uuid = APR::UUID->new;

class: APR::UUID ( APR::UUID class|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID )
ret: $uuid ( APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID )
since: 1.99_12

`DESTROY`

  $uuid->DESTROY;

obj: APR::UUID ( APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID )
ret: no return value
since: 1.99_12

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.

`parse`

Convert a UUID string into an APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID> object:

  $uuid = APR::UUID->parse($uuid_str)

arg1: $uuid_str (string): UUID string (.e.g 'd48889bb-d11d-b211-8567-ec81968c93c6')
ret: $uuid ( APR::UUID object|docs::2.0::api::APR::UUID ): The new object.
since: 1.99_12
