The previous version of FOLIO (Fameflower) required me to craft the user's UUID and I am very happy to discover that the current version (Goldenrod) does not. I'm putting my solution to crafting a UUID here so that I will always have it and never need it again:

 sub craft_uuid {
  $uuid = "";
  $m = "12345";
  $n = "89abAB";
  $x = "0123456789abcdefABCDEF";
  for ($y = 1; $y <= 8; $y++) {$r = int(rand(22)); $uuid .= substr($x,$r,1);}
  $uuid .= "-";
  for ($y = 1; $y <= 4; $y++) {$r = int(rand(22)); $uuid .= substr($x,$r,1);}
  $uuid .= "-";
  $r = int(rand(5));
  $uuid .= substr($m,$r,1);
  for ($y = 1; $y <= 3; $y++) {$r = int(rand(22)); $uuid .= substr($x,$r,1);}
  $uuid .= "-";
  $r = int(rand(5));
  $uuid .= substr($n,$r,1);
  for ($y = 1; $y <= 3; $y++) {$r = int(rand(22)); $uuid .= substr($x,$r,1);}
  $uuid .= "-";
  for ($y = 1; $y <= 12; $y++) {$r = int(rand(22)); $uuid .= substr($x,$r,1);}
  $json = `curl -s -w '\n' -X GET -H '$jsonHeader' -H '$xOkapiToken' $baseURL/users/$uuid`;
 }
 for ($infinity = 0; $infinity <= 1; $infinity++) {
  craft_uuid();
  if ($json =~ /Not found/) {
   $infinity++;
  } else {
   $infinity--;
  }
 }
