Data::GUID::URLSafe - url-safe base64-encoded GUIDs

version 0.004

  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 Data::GUID that provide for URL-safe base64 encoded GUIDs, as described by MIME::Base64::URLSafe.

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.)

When Data::GUID::URLSafe is use'd, it installs methods into Data::GUID using Sub::Exporter.

  my $string = $guid->as_base64_urlsafe;

This method returns the URL-safe base64 encoded representation of the GUID.

  my $guid = Data::GUID->from_base64_urlsafe($string);
