=head1 DESCRIPTION
-B<OSSP uuid> is a ISO-C, ISO-C++ and Perl application programming
-interface (API) and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for
-the generation of DCE 1.1, ISO/IEC 11578:1996 and RFC 4122 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).
+B<OSSP uuid> is a ISO-C:1999 application programming interface (API)
+and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of
+DCE 1.1, ISO/IEC 11578:1996 and RFC 4122 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). Additional API bindings are
+provided for the languages ISO-C++:1998, Perl:5 and PHP:4/5. Optional
+backward compatibility exists for the ISO-C DCE-1.1 and Perl Data::UUID
+APIs.
UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood
of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult
