Callerid - Perl extension for interpreting raw caller ID information (a la AT#CID=2)
use Callerid; my($hex) = "8024010830..."; # OO-style my($cid) = new Callerid($hex); print $cid->{name}; # prints callers name -or- # Procedural style my(%cid) = Callerid::parse_raw_cid_string($hex); print $cid{name}; # prints callers name # prints phone number pretty print Callerid::format_phone_number($cid{number});
The Callerid module aims to provide a quick and easy method (YMMV) of decoding raw caller ID information as supplied by a modem.
This module does not talk to modems. It also does not mangle input. If you don't supply a hex string of the right format then you lose.
$cid = Callerid->new()
$cid = Callerid->new($string_of_hex)
Returns a newly created Callerid object. If you supply it with a hex string then (assuming it's not malformed) it will populate data fields in the new Callerid object appropriately.
Callerid
Currently the (public) fields provided are: name number hour minute month day.
$cid->parse_raw_cid_string($string_of_hex)
%info = Callerid::parse_raw_cid_string($string_of_hex)
When called as an object method parse_raw_cid_string() will fill the objects data fields with appropriate information. When called as a class method parse_raw_cid_string() will return a hash with the same data fields.
parse_raw_cid_string()
$pretty_number = $cid->format_phone_number()
$pretty_number = Callerid::format_phone_number($number)
When called as an object method, format_phone_number() will return the object's number field formatted pretty. When called as a class method, format_phone_number() will take a single argument and will do the same thing.
format_phone_number()
"Formatted pretty" means 7-digit phone numbers become ###-####, 10-digit numbers become ###-###-####, 11-digit numbers become #-###-###-#### and everything else is passed through unchanged.
None by default.
use Callerid; # read in a list of raw caller ID codes while(<>) { chomp; s/#.*$//; # remove comments s/^\s*//; # remove leading spaces s/\s*$//; # remove trailing spaces next unless $_; # skip if there's nothing left my($cid); eval { $cid = new Callerid($_); }; if($@) { warn "error parsing $_: $@"; } else { printf "%s parses to name=%s number=%s date=%02d/%02d time=%02d:%02d\n", $_, $cid->{name}, $cid->format_phone_number(), $cid->{month}, $cid->{day}, $cid->{hour}, $cid->{minute}; } }
