NAME

SPOPS::Key::UUID - Creates a Universally Unique ID (UUID) as a key

SYNOPSIS

# In your SPOPS configuration

$spops  = {
  'myspops' => {
      'isa'      => [ qw/ SPOPS::Key::UUID  SPOPS::DBI / ],
      ...
  },
};

DESCRIPTION

Very, very simple. We just use the Data::UUID module to create a unique key. The key is created before the object is inserted.

The docs for Data::UUID say that it can handle millions of new keys per second, which should be enough for anything Perl is running.

BUGS

Unclear whether Data::UUID works on Win32.

TO DO

Nothing known.
