+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<Data::UUID> is the B<OSSP uuid> backward compatibility Perl binding
+to the API of the original B<Data::UUID> module. It allows other
+B<Data::UUID> based Perl modules to run with B<OSSP::uuid> without
+changes.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+B<OSSP::uuid>.
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+The backward compatibility Perl binding B<Data::UUID> for B<OSSP
+uuid> was originally implemented in 2004 by Piotr Roszatycki
+E<lt>dexter@debian.orgE<gt>. It was later cleaned up and speed optimized
+in December 2005 by David Wheeler E<lt>david@justatheory.comE<gt>.
