Subject: Documentation does not specify which version of UUID is generated by this module
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 11:50:46 -0700
To: bug-Data-UUID [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Arthur Bebak <abebak [...] fabrikinc.com>
The documentation for Data::UUID does not state which version (1 through 5) of UUID is being generated by this module. The distinction is important becuase Version 1 UUIDs have been criticized for exposing information such as machine identity and the time when the UUID was created. Please add UUID version information to the documentation. Or better yet, please add a method to specify which version of UUID is desired. Thanks, -- Arthur Bebak abebak@fabrikinc.com
added for next release -- rjbs
