Segmentation fault
On an Ubuntu 22.04.0 with perl v5.32 or v5.36, caching and re-using the Data::UUID object creates a segmentation fault. I spent hours to find out where the segmentation fault came from. I think it is important to highlight in the documentation to always create a new instance for each new UUID created.
The object is meant to be reused. How were you caching it? Where was the segfault?

Actually, I now believe the issue stemmed from that the module object was cloned with Clone, and I do not think it cloned properly the Data::UUID object that was cached.
Correction on the above: the issue was elsewhere in my code.
