Mac OS X also comes with uuidgen, which probably means the other BSDs do as well. The code seems straightforward enough to turn it into a loadable module.
I'm using a simple random sequence of characters as a session id for visitors:
set chars
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
set chars_len [string length $chars]
set uid ""
for { set i 0 } { $i < 64 } { incr i } {
append uid [string index $chars [expr int($chars_len * rand())]]
}I think I stole this from Dossy's nssession module; it should suffice for uniquely identifying a session over a reasonable period of time. If this isn't fast enough, you can always pre-generate a bunch of them and stick them in an nsv.
/s.

Has anyone had the need to generate UUID/GUIDs as described here http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/topics/internet/internet-drafts/draft-l/ draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt
One option is to use the uuidgen program that is installed on linux at least. I am not sure that would always be available.
Are there any other options for AOLserver or Tcl?
