| earlier for Perl generate nonces using the Perl Data::UUID library.

| generating UUIDs.   *  Data::UUID returns v3 UUIDs, which are
| generated from known information and are unsuitable for security, as
| per RFC 9562.   *  The nonces should be generated from a strong
| cryptographic source, as per RFC 7616.
