In all cases, these methods throw an exception if given invalid input. =head2 from_string my $guid = Data::GUID->from_string("B0470602-A64B-11DA-8632-93EBF1C0E05A"); =head2 from_hex # note that a hex guid is a guid string without hyphens and with a leading 0x my $guid = Data::GUID->from_hex("0xB0470602A64B11DA863293EBF1C0E05A"); =head2 from_base64 my $guid = Data::GUID->from_base64("sEcGAqZLEdqGMpPr8cDgWg=="); =head2 from_data_uuid This method returns a new Data::GUID object if given a Data::UUID value. Because Data::UUID values are not blessed and because Data::UUID provides no validation method, this method will only throw an exception if the given data is of the wrong size. =head1 IDENTIFYING GUIDS =head2 string_guid_regex =head2 hex_guid_regex =head2 base64_guid_regex These methods return regex objects that match regex strings of the appropriate type. =head2 from_any_string my $string = get_string_from_ether; my $guid = Data::GUID->from_any_string($string); This method returns a Data::GUID object for the given string, trying all known string interpretations. An exception is thrown if the value is not a valid GUID string. =head2 best_guess my $value = get_value_from_ether; my $guid = Data::GUID->best_guess($value); This method returns a Data::GUID object for the given value, trying everything it can. It works like C<L</from_any_string>>, but will also accept Data::UUID values. (In effect, this means that any sixteen byte value is acceptable.) =head1 GUIDS INTO STRINGS These methods return various string representations of a GUID. =head2 as_string This method returns a "traditional" GUID/UUID string representation. This is five hexadecimal strings, delimited by hyphens. For example: B0470602-A64B-11DA-8632-93EBF1C0E05A This method is also used to stringify Data::GUID objects. =head2 as_hex This method returns a plain hexadecimal representation of the GUID, with a leading C<0x>. For example: 0xB0470602A64B11DA863293EBF1C0E05A =head2 as_base64 This method returns a base-64 string representation of the GUID. For example: sEcGAqZLEdqGMpPr8cDgWg== =head1 OTHER METHODS =head2 compare_to_guid This method compares a GUID to another GUID and returns -1, 0, or 1, as do other comparison routines. =head2 as_binary This method returns the packed binary representation of the GUID. At present this method relies on Data::GUID's underlying use of Data::UUID. It is not guaranteed to continue to work the same way, or at all. I<Caveat invocator>. =head1 IMPORTING Data::GUID does not export any subroutines by default, but it provides a few routines which will be imported on request. These routines may be called as class methods, or may be imported to be called as subroutines. Calling them by fully qualified name is incorrect. use Data::GUID qw(guid); my $guid = guid; # OK my $guid = Data::GUID->guid; # OK my $guid = Data::GUID::guid; # NOT OK =head2 guid This routine returns a new Data::GUID object. =head2 guid_string This returns the string representation of a new GUID. =head2 guid_hex This returns the hex representation of a new GUID. =head2 guid_base64 This returns the base64 representation of a new GUID. =head2 guid_from_anything This returns the result of calling the C<L</from_any_string>> method. =head1 TODO =over 4 =item * add namespace support =item * remove dependency on wretched Data::UUID =item * make it work on 5.005 =back =head1 AUTHOR Ricardo SIGNES <rjbs@cpan.org> =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2006 by Ricardo SIGNES.
