It should work on any version of perl released in the last ten years. Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. =head1 GETTING A NEW GUID =head2 new my $guid = Data::GUID->new; This method returns a new globally unique identifier. =head1 GUIDS FROM EXISTING VALUES These method returns a new Data::GUID object for the given GUID value.
