B<OSSP uuid> is a ISO-C and Perl application programming interface (API)
-and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of DCE
-1.1 and ISO/IEC 11578:1996 compliant I<Universally Unique Identifier>
-(UUID). It supports DCE 1.1 variant UUIDs of version 1 (time and node
-based), version 3 (name based, MD5), version 4 (random number based) and
-version 5 (name based, SHA-1).

UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood
of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult
