VERSION

version 0.121240

SYNOPSIS

    use Data::UUID::Concise;

    my $duc = Data::UUID::Concise->new();
    my $encoded_uuid = $duc->encode((Data::UUID->new)->create);
    my $decoded_uuid = $duc->decode('M55djt9tt4WoFaL68da9Ef');

    $duc->alphabet('aaaaabcdefgh1230123');
    $duc->alphabet; # 0123abcdefgh

ATTRIBUTES

alphabet

This is the collection of symbols that are used for the encoding scheme.

By default, a reasonably unambiguous set of characters is used that is reminiscent of the base 58 scheme used by a rather prominent photo site's URL shortener.

METHODS

encode

Encode a Data::UUID instance as a string with the appropriate set of symbols.

decode

Decode a string with the appropriate set of symbols and return a Data::UUID instance representing the decoded UUID.

FUNCTIONS

_normalize_alphabet

Private method. Normalize the alphabet such that it is sorted and that all elements are distinct.
