# NAME

Data::Cuid - collision-resistant IDs

# SYNOPSIS

    use Data::Cuid qw(cuid slug);

    my $id   = cuid();          # cjg0i57uu0000ng9lwvds8vb3

    my $slug = slug();          # uv1nlmi

# DESCRIPTION

`Data::Cuid` is a port of the cuid JavaScript library for Perl.

Collision-resistant IDs (also known as _cuids_) are optimized for

horizontal scaling and binary search lookup performance, especially for

web or mobile applications with a need to generate tens or hundreds of

new entities per second across multiple hosts.

`Data::Cuid` does not export any functions by default.

# FUNCTIONS

## cuid

    my $cuid = cuid();

Produce a cuid as described in [the original JavaScript

implementation](https://github.com/ericelliott/cuid#broken-down).  This

cuid is safe to use as HTML element IDs, and unique server-side record

lookups.

## slug

    my $slug = slug();

Produce a shorter ID in nearly the same fashion as ["cuid"](#cuid).  This slug

is good for things like URL slug disambiguation (i.e., `example.com/some-post-title-`) but is absolutely not recommended

for database unique IDs.
