This software is a base class used for the Number::Phone::* modules, providing a foundation for phone number manipulation and validation through an object-oriented programming approach.
Number::Phone is a Perl base class that provides a variety of functionalities through its Number::Phone::* modules. This software makes it easier to handle and manipulate phone numbers in your Perl code.
In a sub-class, you can utilise the package Number::Phone::UK and inherit from the base class using "use base 'Number::Phone';". By doing so, you can conveniently access the base class's methods and properties.
You can also use the Number::Phone module to automatically utilise the right subclass for the given phone number. For instance, if you create a new Number::Phone object with a UK phone number like '+442087712924', Number::Phone will recognise '+44' as the country code for the United Kingdom and load the appropriate country-specific module if available.
On the other hand, if the passed-in country code is invalid or has no available supporting module, the constructor will return undef. This feature is especially helpful when you need to handle various phone numbers from different countries in your application.
Moreover, this software also provides various methods for checking a phone number's properties, such as is_mobile(). You can leverage these methods to determine if a phone number is valid, checking if it is a mobile phone, or landline, among other useful functionalities.
Overall, Number::Phone is an excellent software suite for handling phone numbers in your Perl applications. It's easy to use and provides useful functionalities that can save you a lot of time and effort.
