I do not trust CPAN's Data::UUID for other reasons - I filed RT bug #69277 a while ago (symlink attack): https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=69277 This was while working on Debian bug #632608: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=632608 In short, Data::UUID does not work well on multi-user systems. I seem to recall that every user after the first to use the module will end up ignoring whatever it was storing in /tmp. I can't see anything in the changelog that has addressed this. Kind regards, Tim
