# Name
**Boost::UUID**
# Description
Simple Perl interface for boost::uuid_generators ( look here [boost::uuid doc](
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/uuid/uuid.html) )
# Synopsis
## Random UUID generator
Genarate unique SHA-1 hash every time.
Work with **boost::uuids::random_generator()**
> use Boost::UUID;
> my $uuid = Boost::UUID::random_uuid();
Result: **01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef**
## Nil UUID generator
Generate nil UUID
Work with **boost::uuids::nil_generator()**
> use Boost::UUID;
> my $uuid = Boost::UUID::nil_uuid();
Result: **00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000**
## String UUID
Convert string UUID to boost UUID ( better check out [doc](
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/uuid/uuid.html#boost/uuid/string_generator.hpp) )
Work with **boost::uuids::string_generator()**, but return nill UUID in wrong input string case
> use Boost::UUID;
> Boost::UUID::string_uuid("0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef")
Result: **01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef**
## Name UUID generator
Generate SHA hash from any string.
Work with **boost::uuids::name_generator()**
> use Boost::UUID;
> Boost::UUID::name_uuid("crazypanda.ru");
Result: **25f9de77-a9a6-5816-b7cb-bafc0a203417**
