Data::UUID - B<OSSP uuid> Backward Compatibility Perl Binding

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<Data::UUID> is the B<OSSP uuid> backward compatibility Perl binding
to the API of the original B<Data::UUID> module. It allows other
B<Data::UUID> based Perl modules to run with B<OSSP::uuid> without
changes.

B<OSSP::uuid>.

The backward compatibility Perl binding B<Data::UUID> for B<OSSP
uuid> was originally implemented in 2004 by Piotr Roszatycki
E<lt>dexter@debian.orgE<gt>. It was later cleaned up and speed optimized
in December 2005 by David Wheeler E<lt>david@justatheory.comE<gt>.
