Package: libuuid-perl
Version: 0.02-5
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man3/UUID.3pm.gz

Perhaps make a fuller SYNOPSIS,

	use strict;
        use UUID;
	my ($uuid, $string, $rc);
        UUID::generate($uuid); # generates a 128 bit uuid
        UUID::unparse($uuid, $string); # change $uuid to 36 byte string
        print $string;
        $rc = UUID::parse($string, $uuid); # map string to UUID, return -1 on error
etc. etc.

P.S. double apostrophe in:
DESCRIPTION
       With these 3 routines UUID''s can easily be generated and parsed/un-parsed.
