NAME

CheckDigits::M09_001 - compute check digits for Euro notes

SYNOPSIS

  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $euro = CheckDigits('euronote');
  if ($euro->is_valid('X07738250357')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $euro->complete('X0773825035');     # $cn = 'X07738250357'
  $cd = $euro->checkdigit('X07738250357'); # $cd = '7'
  $bn = $euro->basenumber('X07738250357'); # $bn = 'X0773825035'

DESCRIPTION

ALGORITHM

1.
Letters are replaced with their position in the alphabet ('A' = 1, ...).
2.
The total of the digits of all numbers is computed.
3.
This sum is taken modulo 9.
4.
The check digit is the difference between 8 and the number of step 3.

To validate the last digit of the total of the digits of all numbers inclusive check digit must be 8.

METHODS

Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and the last digit is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given above.

Returns false otherwise,

The check digit for $number is computed and concatenated to the end of $number.

Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits.

Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit.

Return '' otherwise.

Returns the checkdigit of $number if $number has a valid check digit.

Return '' otherwise.

EXPORT

None by default.
