Second, you could use one of the new UUID modules and update the code of the module that requires UUID to use one of the newer modules. Third, you could create a new module that masquerades as UUID.pm, but which actually wraps one of the newer UUID modules. There are many newer UUID modules out there, including Data::UUID (maintained by Ricardo Signes, current pumpking and therefore pretty good chances of maintenance), Data::UUID::MT (a Mersenne Twister-based UUID module maintained by David Golden, Perl semigod, and therefore pretty good chances of maintenance) and UUID::Tiny (two modules to his name, still actively developing). Just my thoughts. Good luck!
