Data::LUID - Generate guaranteed unique local identifiers

Version 0.014

use Data::LUID::Table
my $table = Data::LUID::Table->new( path => 'luid' )
$luid = $table->make
A sample run:
8bqwv1
kb3c6e
9tah65
5fd7rd
tss74z
7rxk5s
3mv3qb
2ad9qj

On each call to ->make, Data::LUID::Table will generate a guaranteed unique local identifier. Guaranteed because once each identifier is generated, it will be stored in a table for future lookup (collision avoidance)
The current backend is BerkeleyDB

Create a new Data::LUID::Table, saving the table to disk at the given <path>
The <path> argument (default: ./luid) is the location of the table on disk
Generate the next luid in the sequence
The current generator is Data::TUID, so there is no real "sequence" per se
