use strict; package Data::GUID::URLSafe; =head1 NAME Data::GUID::URLSafe - url-safe base64-encoded GUIDs =head1 VERSION version 0.004 =cut $Data::GUID::URLSafe::VERSION = '0.004'; =head1 SYNOPSIS use Data::GUID::URLSafe; my $guid = Data::GUID->new; my $string = $guid->as_base64_urlsafe; my $same_guid = Data::GUID->from_base64_urlsafe; This module provides methods for L that provide for URL-safe base64 encoded GUIDs, as described by L. These strings are also safer for email addresses. While the forward slash is legal in email addresses, some broken email address validators reject it. (Also, without the trailing equals signs, these strings will be shorter.) =head1 METHODS When Data::GUID::URLSafe is C'd, it installs methods into Data::GUID using L. =cut use Data::GUID (); use Sub::Exporter -setup => { into => 'Data::GUID', exports => [ qw(as_base64_urlsafe from_base64_urlsafe) ], groups => [ default => [ -all ] ], }; =head2 as_base64_urlsafe my $string = $guid->as_base64_urlsafe; This method returns the URL-safe base64 encoded representation of the GUID. =cut sub as_base64_urlsafe { my ($self) = @_; my $base64 = $self->as_base64; $base64 =~ tr{+/=}{-_}d; return $base64; } =head2 from_base64_urlsafe my $guid = Data::GUID->from_base64_urlsafe($string); =cut sub from_base64_urlsafe { my ($self, $string) = @_; # +/ should not be handled, so convert them to invalid chars # also, remove spaces (\t..\r and SP) so as to calc padding len $string =~ tr{-_\t-\x0d }{+/}d; if (my $mod4 = length($string) % 4) { $string .= substr('====', $mod4); } return $self->from_base64($string); } =head1 AUTHOR Ricardo SIGNES, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests through the web interface at L.
