=head1 NAME
Geo::PostalAddress - Country-specific postal address parsing/formatting
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module converts postal (snail mail) addresses between an
unstructured country-neutral format (an array of character strings)
and a country-specific format that's hopefully meaningful by postal
authorities, courier/delivery services, residents, ... of that
country for postal address entry. It should handle most countries
out of the box with only minor or technical divergences from
approved bulk-mailing formats; if needed, country-specific code can
be added to make it fully conformant to those formats.
The intended audience for this module is anyone needing to handle
most addresses in a recognizable country-specific format, without
going into the full generality and complexity that UPU standards
would appear to require.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Geo::PostalAddress;
my $AU_parser = Geo::PostalAddress->new('AU');
my $format = $AU_parser->format();
# $format now contains:
# [['Addr1', 40], ['Addr2', 40], ['Addr3', 40], ['Addr4', 40], 3,
# ['City', 40],
# ['State', {NSW => "New South Wales", TAS => "Tasmania",
# QLD => "Queensland", SA => "South Australia",
# WA => "Western Australia", VIC => "Victoria",
# ACT => "Australian Capital Territory",
# NT => "Northern Territory"}], ['Postcode', 4, qr/^\d\d\d\d$/]]
# 40 in ['Addr1', 40] is the suggested displayed field width (not the maximum
# length). 3 means that the next 3 fields should/could be on the same row.
# ['State', {...}] means an enumerated list is used for this field, with keys
# being the stored values and values being the labels used for display or
# selection.
my $display = $AU_parser->display(["4360 DUKES RD", "KALGOORLIE WA 6430"]);
# $display now contains:
# {Addr1 => "4360 DUKES RD", City => "KALGOORLIE",
# State => "WA", Postcode => "6430"}
my $US_parser = Geo::PostalAddress->new('US');
my $address = {Addr1 => "123 MAGNOLIA ST", City => "HEMPSTEAD",
State => "NY", ZIP => "115501234"};
my $result = $US_parser->storage($address);
unless (ref $result) { carp "Bad postal address: $result.\n"; }
my $AU_to_US_address_label = $US_parser->label("AU", "MR JOHN DOE", $result);
# What to print on an address label or on an envelope, if mailing from
# Australia to the United States.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new()
C<Geo::PostalAddress-E<gt>new($country)> returns undef, or a blessed
reference to a parser suitable for handling the most common postal address
formats for that country. Depending on the country, this reference may be
blessed into Geo::PostalAddress or into a country-specific subclass.
=cut
sub new {
my ($class, $code) = @_;
my $country_class = "Geo::PostalAddress::$code";
my ($object, $country_new);
my $instance_data = (exists $per_country_data{$code})
? {_country_code => $code, %{$per_country_data{$code}}}

unless (defined code2country($code, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2)) { return undef; }
if (exists($Geo::PostalAddress::{"${code}::"})) { # Country class exists
if (($country_new = $country_class->can("new")) != \&new) { # Has own new()
# XXX fails if &$country_new calls Geo::PostalAddress->new. MUST FIX.
$object = $country_new->($country_class, $code);
} else { # Country class, inherits our new()
$object = bless $instance_data, $country_class;
}

$object = bless $instance_data, $class;
}
return $object;
}
=head2 format
C<$parser-E<gt>format()> returns a reference to an array describing the
(display/input) fields that make a postal address, and gives some hints
about on-screen layout. Each element of the array can be an integer n > 0,
meaning the next n fields should be on the same line if window/screen width
allows it, or a reference to an array describing a field. Each field
description contains the field name and either a maximum length for a text
field or a hash of {stored => display} values for an enumerated field. An
optional regex can also be specified. If present, it should be compatible with
both perl and javascript, so it can be used in both client-side and server-side
programs or modules.
An example for Australia may be:
[["Addr1", 40], ["Addr2", 40], ["Addr3", 40], ["Addr4", 40], 3, ["City", 40],
["State", {NSW => "New South Wales", TAS => "Tasmania", QLD => "Queensland",
SA => "South Australia", WA => "Western Australia",
VIC => "Victoria", ACT => "Australian Capital Territory",
NT => "Northern Territory"}], ["Postcode", 4, qr/^\d\d\d\d$/]]
=cut
sub format {
my ($self) = @_;
return $self->{_format};
}
=head2 display
C<$parser-E<gt>display($stored)> converts the postal address in @$stored to a
format suitable for data input and returns a reference to a hash. The keys of
the hash appear as fieldnames in the return value of C<$parser-E<gt>format()>.
If @$stored doesn't contain an address in the country $parser is an instance
of, weird results are nearly certain.
=cut
sub display {
my ($self, $stored) = @_;
my %display;
my $limit = 0;
my @regex_results; # Cache, 1 per regex (*not* per stored address field)
foreach my $segment (@{$self->{_s2d_map}}) {

}
$display{$segment->{DisplayName}} = $line;
}
$self->normalize(\%display); # XXX Do something with return value?
return \%display;
}
=head2 storage
C<$parser-E<gt>storage($display)> makes country-dependent checks against the
postal address in %$display. If it passes all the checks,
C<$parser-E<gt>storage($display)> converts it to a format suitable for storage
and returns a reference to an array. Otherwise,
C<$parser-E<gt>storage($display)> returns a string representing an error
message.
If %$display doesn't contain an address in the country $parser is an instance
of, weird results are nearly certain.
=cut
sub storage {
my ($self, $display) = @_;
my (@storage, @storage_bottom);
foreach my $field (@{$self->{_format}}) {
if (ref($field) && (@$field >= 3)
&& ($display->{$field->[0]} !~ $field->[2])) {
return "$field->[0]: missing or incorrect value"; # XXX be more specific?
}
}

@storage = grep { defined($_) && $_ } @storage;
@storage_bottom = grep { defined($_) && $_ } @storage_bottom;
push @storage, reverse @storage_bottom;
return \@storage;
}
=head2 label
C<$parser-E<gt>label($origin_country, $recipient, $address)> returns a
reference to an array containing an address label suitable for correspondance
from a sender in $origin_country (2-letter ISO 3166 code) to $recipient (can be
a string or an array reference, eg ["Aby's Auto Repair", "Kell Dewclaw"]) at
$address (as returned from C<$parser-E<gt>storage()>) in the country for
$parser.
The default version just tacks on the name of the destination country, if not
the same as the origin country.
=cut
sub label {
my ($self, $origin_country, $recipient, $address) = @_;
my @label;
if (ref $recipient) { @label = @$recipient; } else { @label = ($recipient); }
push @label, @$address;
if ($origin_country ne $self->{_country_code}) {
push @label, code2country($self->{_country_code});
}
return \@label;
}
=head2 option
C<$parser-E<gt>option($name [ , $value] )> returns the setting of option $name
for parser $parser, after changing it to $value if specified.
Available options and meaningful values for each option depend on the country
$parser is for.
=cut
sub option {
my ($self, $name, $value) = @_;
if (defined $value) { $self->{_options}->{$name} = $value; }
return $self->{_options}->{$name};
}
=head2 normalize
C<$parser-E<gt>normalize($display)> normalizes the address in %$display by
tweaking unambiguous but technically incorrect elements. It can also, if
needed, check it for validity and return an error message. If no problems were
found, it should return "".
This method is called from within C<storage()> and C<display()>, and users of
this module shouldn't normally need to call it directly. It exists so it can be
overridden in subclasses. The default version does nothing.
=cut
sub normalize {
return "";
}
=head1 INTERNALS
Unless you plan to add a country or change the format information for a
country, either directly in the base class (this) or as a subclass, you can
safely skip this. (But if you're curious, feel free to read on.)
%per_country_data is a hash using the 2-letter ISO 3166-1 country code as the
key. The value is a hash reference ($hr in the following description) with the
following fields:
=over 4
=item _format
This array reference is actually what C<$parser-E<gt>format()> returns.
Each element can be a number n > 0, hinting that the next n fields should be on
the same line, if the terminal or window width allows it, but otherwise
ignored. Otherwise, it is an array reference describing a single field of the
address, and has the following elements:
=over 4
=item 0
The name of a field. For maximum compatibility with form description languages
(including the forms part of HTML), this should match /^w+$/ in the C locale,
but this module only requires that it not contain {}. The name should be
present in C<map { $_-E<gt>{DisplayName} } @{$hr-E<gt>{_s2d_map}}> (see
_s2d_map below).
=item 1
Can be a number E<gt> 0, indicating the maximum length of a text field, or a
hash of { stored =E<gt> displayed } mappings, indicating an enumerated field.
(Note that in the latter case, the order and layout of the values are left to
the discretion of the user of this module.)
=item 2
An optional validation regex can also be specified. If present, it should be
compatible with both perl and javascript, so it can be used in both client-side
and server-side programs or modules. Note that although most regexes would be
anchored at both ends, this isn't required or enforced.
=back
=item _s2d_map
(storage-to-display map) This is an array of hash references, each describing
how to retrieve the value of one display field from the stored unstructured
text strings. Each element has the following fields:
=over 4
=item StoredRownum
(stored row number) The row in the array of text lines where the field is. That
number is used as a perl-style array index (E<gt>=0 from the start, E<lt> 0
back from the end), except that on any given unstructured address, if there
aren't enough rows to map to both positive and negative indices without
overlap, the positive indices that would actually map to a row overlapping the
region starting with the negative index having the largest absolute value and
going to the end of the array are considered to return "" instead of the actual
row. In other words, using the array of lines qw(eenie meenie minie moe),
indexes -2 0 1 2 3 would return "minie", "eenie", "meenie", "", "" (even though
there is no -1 that would return "moe").
=item StoredColnum
(stored column number) The optional column in the line where the field (or
regex input) starts, from 0 for the first column. If absent, the field (or
regex input) is the whole line, even if StoredCollen is present. Note that
StoredColnum can be negative (with the expected result for the second argument
to L<substr|perldoc/substr>), but if so, there's no special handling, unlike
for StoredRownum.
=item StoredCollen
(stored column length) The optional length of the field (or regex input). If
absent or if StoredColnum is absent, the field (or regex input) extends to the
end of the line. Note that StoredCollen can be negative (with the expected
result for the third argument to L<substr|perldoc/substr>), but if so, there's
no special handling, unlike for StoredRownum.
=item StoredRegexnum
(stored regex number) The optional index of a regular expression in
C<@{$hr-E<gt>{_regexes}}> to be matched against the line (or the substring
selected by StoredColnum and StoredCollen if applicable) to extract the field
value from it. See the description of _regexes below for important restrictions
on regex use.
=item StoredFieldnum
(stored field number) The optional index into the array returned by the regex
matching mentioned above of the data to be returned as the field value. Note
that if StoredRegexnum is present, StoredFieldnum must be present too.
=item DisplayName
(display (field) name) The name of a field in C<@{$hr-E<gt>{_format}}>. This is
also the key used in the record hash returned by C<$parser-E<gt>display()>.
=back
Note that although StoredColnum, StoredCollen, StoredRegexnum, and
StoredFieldnum are all optional, not all combinations make sense. Specifically:
=over 4
=item *
At least one of StoredColnum and StoredRegexnum must be present; if both are,
StoredColnum (and StoredCollen if also present) are used before StoredRegexnum
and StoredFieldnum.
=item *
If StoredCollen is present without StoredColnum, it is ignored.
=item *
If StoredRegexnum is present, StoredFieldnum must be present too; if
StoredFieldnum is present without StoredRegexnum, it is ignored.
=back
=item _s2d_map
(display-to-storage map) This is an array of hash references, each describing
how to generate one line of the unstructured string array used for storage from
the parsed fields used for display. Each element has the following fields:
=over 4
=item StoredTemplate
(stored template) A string containing boilerplate text and field references of
the form ${foo} for field foo (using the field names in _format and _s2d_map).
Currently, there is no way to escape $, {, or } if they're part of a sequence
that could be interpreted as a field reference.
=item StoredRownum
(stored row number) A number that indicates in which row of the unstructured
storage string array this should go. This can be positive, 0, or negative, with
the same intended meaning as for _s2dmap, except than while putting the array
together, it grows in the middle as necessary to accomodate positive indexes.
=back
=item _regexes
(regular expressions) A reference to an array of strings representing regexes,
in any form perl will accept (single-quoted, double-quoted, qr//, etc...) for
use in parsing unstructured storage strings into structured display fields.
Note that each regex is matched at most once in the course of a single
invocation to C<$hr-E<gt>display()>, and its results cached for reuse. This is
true even if a subsequent match would use another string than the first. In
practice, this isn't a problem, as a given regex would normally be applied to
one storage line only. However, if this isn't the case, that regex must be
repeated, each line pointing (through StoredRegexnum) to its own copy.
=back
%default_per_country_data is similar, but for countries with unspecified
address formats. It's a single hash with the same structure as %$hr above.
C<Geo::PostalAddress-E<gt>new()> initializes the object hash with those
fields, and adds a _country_code field that holds the 2-letter code, in case we
need to retrieve other info later.
Note that the above applies to the base class only. Subclasses may use other or
different data, instead of or in addition to this.

# XXX Spain may want the province name between () after the city name for some
# cities. Leave it here until I know more.
# XXX Svalbard and Jan Mayen Island may be here, as part of Norway.
# XXX Switzerland may want a CH postcode prefix. Also, ambiguous cities may
# need district (canton) code postfixed. Let users enter it as part of city if

=head1 BUGS
Only 2-letter country codes are supported.
A knob to carp on some errors would be nice.
Objects returned by the new method can be actually blessed into a
country-specific subclass. This makes it impossible to have other
derived classes than the country-specific ones.
40 is used as the suggested length for all text fields. This is probably too
long for some and too short for others.
Support for most countries ranges from non-existent to sketchy.
The method name "display" is arguably a poor choice.
Some messages should go through a translation table.
Data validation should probably be a method of its own.
This module doesn't yet deal well with countries that want the recipient name
in another position than 1st line, or the country name in another position than
last line. Examples of such countries are: Ukraine (wants country,
city+postcode, street address, recipient name from top down instead of the more
widespread bottom up), Turkmenistan (wants city+postcode, country, recipient
name, street address, from top down), Grenada (wants a supranational line -
West Indies - below the country name). The interface to do that exists, but is
do-nothing until I figure out how to deal with address formats for use between
countries with conflicting requirements.
This module doesn't deal well with countries where the address format depends
on the script used, such as Saudi Arabia.
This module doesn't yet support entities with their own ISO 3166-1 code that
use another country's address format, including the country name.
This module assumes "no locale", and blissfully mixes character classes that
could conceivably match in the locale with classes that have to match according
to the Roman alphabet (eg, US ZIP codes and Canadian postal codes). This is
probably nearly impossible to fix, as the relevant locale isn't well-defined
anyway. (The locale for the machine running the application? The locale for the
user? Or the locale for the country the address is in?)
This module assumes that the privileged order for entering address components
is top-down, left-to right, according to the standard or most common address
format. This may not be true of countries where the dominant language is
written right-to-left.
This module doesn't use the PATDL
(F<http://xml.coverpages.org/Lubenow-PATDL200204.pdf>) in the address parsing
rules.
