# Data::UUID(3perl)

OSSP uuid Backward Compatibility Perl Binding

## NAME

**Data::UUID** – OSSP uuid Backward Compatibility Perl Binding

## DESCRIPTION

**Data::UUID** is the OSSP **uuid** backward compatibility Perl binding to the API of the original **Data::UUID** module. It allows other **Data::UUID** based Perl modules to run with **OSSP::uuid** without changes.

## SEE ALSO

[OSSP::uuid(3perl)](/OSSP::uuid/3perl.md)

## HISTORY

The backward compatibility Perl binding **Data::UUID** to OSSP **uuid** was originally implemented in 2004 by Piotr Roszatycki ⟨dexter@debian.org⟩. It was later cleaned up and speed optimized in December 2005 by David Wheeler ⟨david@justatheory.com⟩.
