Description : Perl module that encodes integers into a short "locator string"
Number::RecordLocator encodes integers into a 32 character "alphabet"
designed to be short and easy to read and pronounce. The encoding maps:
.
0 to O
1 to I
S to F
B to P
.
With a 32 bit encoding, you can map 33.5 million unique ids into a 5
character code.
