NAME¶
CheckDigits::MXX_006 - compute check digits with Verhoeff scheme
SYNOPSIS¶
  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $verhoeff = CheckDigits('verhoeff');
  if ($verhoeff->is_valid('14567894')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $verhoeff->complete('1456789');
  # $cn = '14567894'
  $cd = $verhoeff->checkdigit('14567894');
  # $cd = '4'
  $bn = $verhoeff->basenumber('14567894');
  # $bn = '1456789'
DESCRIPTION¶
ALGORITHM¶
- 1.
 - Right to left all digits are permutated according to a permutation table.
 - 2.
 - The permutated digits are combined using a dieeder table. The first with the second, the result with the third, this result with the fourth and so on.
 - 3.
 - The result of the last combination in the dieeder table is in such a way combined that the result is 0 (zero). The number used for this combination is the checksum.
 
For details look at the source.
METHODS¶
- is_valid($number)
 - 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,
 - complete($number)
 - The check digit for $number is computed and
      concatenated to the end of $number.
    
Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits.
 - basenumber($number)
 - Returns the basenumber of $number if
      $number has a valid check digit.
    
Return '' otherwise.
 - checkdigit($number)
 - Returns the checkdigit of $number if
      $number has a valid check digit.
    
Return '' otherwise.
 
EXPORT¶
None by default.

Jonathan Peters wrote Algorithm::Verhoeff from which I took the routine to compute the checkdigits.
