  Description     : tie interface to Data::UUID

Tie::DataUUID ties a scalar to Data::UUID so that reading the variable yields
a freshly generated UUID each time. It also exports a ready-tied $uuid
variable, so a UUID can be interpolated straight into a string without
calling a constructor.

The module is a thin convenience layer over Data::UUID and adds no
UUID-generation logic of its own.

This module is a dependency of the Cassandane test suite shipped with
cyrus-imapd. Cassandane's 1383 tests cover the CalDAV, CardDAV, JMAP and Sieve
surface of the server; 35 suites currently cannot run in Debian because these
Perl modules are not packaged. See #1145447.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
