UNIVERSAL::Object::ID(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation UNIVERSAL::Object::ID(3pm)

UNIVERSAL::Object::ID - Supply a unique object identifier to every object

    use DateTime;  # for example
    use UNIVERSAL::Object::ID;
    my $date = DateTime->now;
    print $date->object_id;

Loading UNIVERSAL::Object::ID makes the "Object::ID" role available to every object.

Use at your own risk, polluting UNIVERSAL is not to be taken lightly. The best place to use this module is in your own personal or internal use code rather than a widely distributed software library. Or you can use Method::Lexical to safely apply the UNIVERSAL effect to just your lexical scope.
