Catman...x::uuid(3pm)

🦋 Catmandu::Fix::uuid(3pm) — the vibe is unique, bestie 💅

okay so real quick: this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it lives under the manual name Catman...x::uuid(3pm). It's ✨iconic✨, it's tiny, and it does exactly one thing. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Fix::uuid — it makes a Globally/Universally Unique Identifier 💖

Like. A UUID. The long dashes-and-hex situation. And it's globally unique, meaning nobody else on planet earth is getting your string, no cap 🌍✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uuid(my.field) # my => {field => '4162F712-1DD2-11B2-B17E-C09EFE1DC403' }

so you just call uuid() on a field, and boom — that field gets a fresh UUID dropped into it 🎀 In the example above, my.field comes back holding '4162F712-1DD2-11B2-B17E-C09EFE1DC403', and my is now:

my => {field => '4162F712-1DD2-11B2-B17E-C09EFE1DC403'}

one line of fix, one absolutely one-of-a-kind identifier. it's giving "main character energy" but for your data 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• Catmandu::Fix — the parent situation, the whole fix framework that uuid hangs out in. go say hi, iykyk 💜

and that's the whole page bestie, it's short but it ate 🍓 no notes, no hidden flags, nothing extra to memorise. slay.
