Subject: Improve documentation for create_from_name*
To avoid misconception documentation should note that generating name-based UUID using "create_from_name*" functions requires to convert custom namespace UUID from string to UUID using "from_string". For example: # This creates a new UUID in string form, based on a custom namespace. # Note that the namespace must be first converted from its string form. my $ug = new Data::UUID; my $ns = $ug->from_string("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"); print $ug->create_from_name_str($ns, "www.mycompany.com");
