Data::UUID looks like cool, but I'm back to the same old same old again, where it works at the shell level but not in cgi. By this time I've learned to check my logs and I just see things like "unitialized variable at line xx" and when the line being flagged is the print statement below: 
$ug = new Data::UUID;
print $ug->create_str();

I have to assume something is preventing UUID from doing it's thing.

I can't figure out what's going on, but I notice in /var/tmp I have a couple files owned by apache .UUID_NODEID and .UUID_STATE that don't go away. So it must be some kind of permission thing although /var/tmp is set for drwxrwxrwt.

At this point I give up. I have gpg working. I don't have to use gpg but I saw it in Linux Journal. I'm just trying to create a unique identifier.
