NAME

Data::LUID - Generate guaranteed unique local identifiers

VERSION

Version 0.013

SYNOPSIS

use Data::LUID::Table

my $table = Data::LUID::Table->new( path => 'luid' )

$luid = $table->make

A sample run:

DESCRIPTION

On each call to ->make, Data::LUID::Table will generate a guaranteed unique local identifier. Guaranteed because once each identifier is generated, it will be stored in a table for future lookup (collision avoidance)

The current backend is BerkeleyDB

USAGE

$table = Data::LUID::Table->new( path => <path> )

Create a new Data::LUID::Table, saving the table to disk at the given <path>

The <path> argument (default: ./luid) is the location of the table on disk

$luid = $table->make

$luid = $table->next

Generate the next luid in the sequence

The current generator is using Data::TUID, so there is no real "sequence" per se
