This module is a subclass of that module which adds a method to get a URL-safe Base64-encoded version of the UUID using L. What that means is that you can get a 22-character UUID string which you can use safely in URLs. =head1 METHODS =head2 new The constructor: my $ug = Data::UUID::Base64URLSafe->new; =head2 create_b64_urlsafe Create a URL-safe Base64-encoded UUID: my $uuid = $ug->create_b64_urlsafe; =head1 AUTHOR Leon Brocard, C<< >> =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2008, Leon Brocard This module is free software; you can redistribute it or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
