Parse::PhoneNumber - Parse Phone Numbers

SYNOPSIS

     use Parse::PhoneNumber;
     my $number = Parse::PhoneNumber->parse( number => $phone );
 
     print $number->human;

ABSTRACT

Parse phone numbers. Phone number have a defined syntax (to a point), so they can be parsed (to a point).

DESCRIPTION
Methods
new
Create a new Parse::PhoneNumber object. Useful if a lot of numbers have to be parsed.

parse
Accepts a list of arguments. "number" is the phone number. This method will return "undef" and set "errstr" on failure. On success, a "Parse::PhoneNumber::Number" object is returned. "assume_us" will have the country code default to 1 if none is given. This is due to the fact that most people in the US are clueless about such things.

errstr
Returns the last error reported, or undef if no errors have occured yet.

Parse::PhoneNumber::Number Objects
The objects returned on a successful parse.

orig
The original string passed to "parse".

cc
The Country Code

num
The phone number, including the trunk pointer, area code, and subscriber number.

ext
An extension, if one is present.

opensrs
The format an OpenSRS Registrar must make a phone number for some TLDs.

human
Human readable format.

BUGS

Currently only accept phone numbers in International format. If a number isn't given in international format, a false positive could occur.
