NAME

Net::DRI::Data::Contact - Handle contact data, modeled from EPP for Net::DRI

DESCRIPTION

This base class encapsulates all data for a contact as defined in EPP (RFC3733). It can (and should) be subclassed for TLDs needing to store other data for a contact. All subclasses must have a validate() method that takes care of verifying contact data, and an id() method returning an opaque value, unique per contact (in a given registry).

The following methods are both accessors and mutators : as mutators, they can be called in chain, as they all return the object itself.

Postal information through name() org() street() city() sp() pc() cc() can be provided twice. EPP allows a localized form (content is in unrestricted UTF-8) and internationalized form (content MUST be represented in a subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in the 7-bit US-ASCII character set). Not all registries support both forms.

When setting values, you pass one element if both forms are equal or two elements as a list (first the localized form, then the internationalized one). When getting values, in list context you get back both values, in scalar context you get back the first one, that is the localized form.

METHODS

loid()

local object ID for this contact, never sent to registry (can be used to track the local db id of this object)

id()

an alias (needed for Net::DRI::Data::ContactSet) of the previous method

roid()
