The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Data::UUID
DSLIP: RdcOp
description: UUID/GUID Generator

chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)

rationale:
This module provides a framework for generating UUIDs (Universally
Unique Identifiers, also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique
Identifiers). A UUID is 128 bits long, and is guaranteed to be
different from all other UUIDs/GUIDs generated until 3400 A.D. UUIDs
were originally used in the Network Computing System (NCS) and later
in the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing
Environment. Currently many different technologies rely on UUIDs to
provide unique identity for various software components, Microsoft
COM/DCOM for instance, uses GUIDs very extensively to uniquely
identify classes, applications and components across
network-connected systems. Since this module is likely to be used to
provide unique identify for objects or generate unique database
keys, it is designed to be a part of Data namespace, hence the name
Data::UUID. Currently, there's no other Perl extension for
generating UUIDs/GUIDs on UNIX systems.
