Business::DK::Phonenumber - Danish telephone number validator/formatter
This documentation describes version 0.10
use Business::DK::Phonenumber qw(validate render); #Validation if (Business::DK::Phonenumber->validate($phonenumber)) { ... } #Default format print Business::DK::Phonenumber->render($phonenum); # +45 12 34 56 78 #Brief human readable Danish phone number format print Business::DK::Phonenumber->render($phonenum, '%08d'); # 12345678 #Normal human readable Danish phonenumber format print Business::DK::Phonenumber->render($phonenum, '%02d %02d %02d %02d'); # 12 34 56 78 #Generation of a single random number Business::DK::Phonenumber->generate(); #Generation of 100 random numbers, using another template Business::DK::Phonenumber->generate(100, '%02d %02d %02d %02d');
This module offers functionality to validate, format and generate Danish phone numbers.
The validation can recognise telephone numbers is the following formats as Danish phone numbers.
12345678
4512345678
+4512345678
White space characters are ignored.
In addition to validation the module offers generation of valid danish phone numbers. The purpose of using generated phone number is up to the user, but the original intent is generation of varied sets of test data.

The following subroutines are to be used in a procedural manner.
This subroutine takes a string and validated whether it is a Danish phone number.
Returns 1 (true) or 0 (false), depending on validity.
Returns a phonenumber rendered according to the template parameter or the default.
This subroutine takes a string representing a phone number template and generates the amount specified by second argument: amount. If no amount is specified only a single random phone number is returned.
The subroutine returns an array, no matter what amount is specified.
This is the actual generating method used by "generate".
It takes a single parameter, a string indicating the template for the formatting of the phone numbers to be generated.
It returns a single random number representing a Danish phone number formatted as outlined by the specified template.
This method is used internally to validate template parameters. Please refer to Perl's sprintf for documentation.
phone number not in recognisable format, the phone number provided to the constructor is not parsable. Please evaluate what you are attempting to feed to the constructor.
phone number parameter is mandatory for the constructor, please specify the phone number parameter to the constructor in order to continue.
template not in recognisable format, the template provided to the constructor is not in a parsable format, please evaluate what you attempting to feed to the constructor.
No special configuration or environment is necessary.

No known incompatibilities at this time.
No known bugs or limitations at this time.
The Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators policy has been disabled. We are working with phonenumbers, strings consisting primarily of number, so not special interpretation or calculative behaviour is needed.
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitConstantPragma policy has been disabled. I like constants.
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireBracedFileHandleWithPrint policy has been disabled for now should be revisited at some point.
Please refer to the distribution TODO file
Business::DK::Phonenumber utilizes sprintf to as templating system for formatting telephonenumbers. This is a well specified and tested interface which is easy to use.

I have been working in Telco for a long time. So validation and formatting of telephone numbers is something I have seen at lot of. This module is an attempt to sort of consolidate the numerous different regular expression solutions I have seen scattered over large code bases.
