The time-IP combination is not repeatable
Time to what granularity? If you're talking to second-level granularity, I'll have to disagree. What about requests coming from behind a proxy? All of the internet traffic from my place of work seems to come from the same IP (and for all intents and purposes it does) regardless of the computer that's actually issuing the request. What happens when a lot of traffic is generated from one such place? If you think it can't happen, think again. Data::UUID is the way to go. Smarter people than you and I have thought about this problem and come up with that solution.
