NAME¶
Number::Phone::Lib - Instantiate Number::Phone::* objects from libphonenumber
SYNOPSIS¶
use Number::Phone::Lib;
$daves_phone = Number::Phone::Lib->new('+442087712924');
$daves_other_phone = Number::Phone::Lib->new('+44 7979 866 975');
# alternatively Number::Phone::Lib->new('+44', '7979 866 975');
# or Number::Phone::Lib->new('UK', '07979 866 975');
if ( $daves_phone->is_mobile() ) {
send_rude_SMS();
}
This subclass of Number::Phone exclusively uses classes generated from Google's
libphonenumber project <
https://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/>.
libphonenumber doesn't have enough data to support all the features of
Number::Phone, but you might want to use its data and no other for a few
reasons:
- •
- Compatibility with libphonenumber's Java, C++, and JavaScript
implementations.
- •
- Performance. UK Number parsing and validation by Number::Phone::UK, in
particular, has a substantial overhead thanks to its embedded database. If
all you need is simple validation and/or formatting, all that overhead is
unnecessary.
That said, the core Number::Phone UK module is far more comprehensive.

You may use, modify and distribute this software under the same terms as perl
