A software tool that enables users to conduct basic validation of an EAN-13 barcode.
If you're looking for a reliable and efficient Perl module to validate EAN-13 barcodes, then you'll want to check out Business::Barcode::EAN13. This module is designed to provide you with all the necessary subroutines that can determine if a barcode is self-consistent, which means whether or not it checksums correctly.
The module is also built to provide you with additional features, including the ability to return the correct check digit when given the 12 digit stem of a barcode. You can also leverage a method for identifying the country in which the manufacturer's identification code was registered, as well as a process for picking the most preferred barcode from a given list.
To use the Business::Barcode::EAN13 module, simply import the necessary functions using the qw/valid_barcode check_digit issuer_ccode best_barcode/ terms. From there, you can utilize these functions to verify the validity of specific barcodes, generate check digits, and identify the registered country codes.
For example, you can use the valid_barcode() function to evaluate whether or not a barcode is valid, like so: my $is_valid = valid_barcode("5023965006028");. Similarly, you can use the check_digit() function to generate the correct check digit for a 12-digit stem (in this case, "502396500602"): my $check_digit = check_digit("502396500602");.
Additionally, the issuer_ccode() function can be used to identify the registered country code for a given barcode: my $country_code = issuer_ccode("5023965006028");. Finally, you can use the best_barcode() function to identify the most preferred barcode from a given list, based on a provided set of country preferences: my $best_code = best_barcode(@barcodes, @prefs);.
Overall, if you need to validate EAN-13 barcodes and perform additional related tasks using Perl, Business::Barcode::EAN13 is a powerful and valuable module that can meet your needs with ease.
