NAME

OP::ID - Overloaded GUID object class

DESCRIPTION

Extends OP::Scalar and Data::GUID

ID objects stringify as base64, which makes them as small as practical.

SYNOPSIS

  use OP::ID;

  #
  # Generate a new GUID
  #
  do {
    my $id = OP::ID->new();

    # ...
  }

  #
  # Instantiate an existing GUID from base64
  #
  do {
    my $id = OP::ID->new("EO2JXisF3hGSSg+s3t/Aww==");

    # ...
  }

You may also instantiate from and translate between string, hex, or binary GUID forms using the constructors inherited from Data::GUID.

See Data::GUID and Data::UUID for more details.
