That, however, is counter-intuitive. If the purpose is to choose lowercase, $Data::GUID::Any::Lowercase would, in my opinion, make a lot more sense. Default would be FALSE; set it to TRUE if you want lowercase.

Good point. But I think the reason for that choice was to let the user do local $Data::GUID::Any::UC; to change the value to false. I'm doing my package variable the way you propose where I set it to '1' or do a ++ to activate it. The special variable $| works that way but that is something different. I digress.

My variable is called $Data::QuickMemoPlus::Reader::suppress_header but I'm thinking I'll redo that now after all the good comments I've received.
