The software, Number::Phone::UK, provides highly specific location details for phone numbers in the United Kingdom. It offers additional information such as carrier identification and number formatting options.
One important caveat to keep in mind is that previous versions of this module had a dependency on DBM::Deep. However, this release includes an old version of the module that can be used in parallel with the new version, which should provide some flexibility for users.
When it comes to accuracy, this add-on module really delivers. Compared to the location data that comes with Number::Phone, which only includes information for one of several exchanges serving each area code, this is a superset of data that is far more comprehensive. In fact, the latitude and longitude data has more significant figures than necessary, simply because this is what was available in the data source used to build the module.
All in all, if you need more detailed location information in your Perl-based telephony software, Number::Phone::UK::DetailedLocations is a must-have module that is sure to make your system more accurate and effective.
