Business::CreditCard - Validate/generate credit card checksums/names
use Business::CreditCard;
say cardtype("5276 4400 6542 1319"); # MasterCard
say validate("5276 4400 6542 1319"); # TrueThese subroutines tell you whether a credit card number is self-consistent -- whether the last digit of the number is a valid checksum for the preceding digits.
say cardtype("5276 4400 6542 1319"); # MasterCardThe cardtype subroutine returns a CardTypes enum containing the type of card: in Bool contexts, a True value means a valid card type has been detected.
The credit card number can be given as a string, or as a number. When given as a string, the letter "x" can be used to indicate a digit without meaning, and whitespace and dashes will be removed before matching.
Prefix recognition is done by 6, 4 or 2 digit prefixes. The following named arguments can be specified:
- :country
An optional two-letter country code for which to return the card type, since some cards are reported with a different name according to country. Default is "US".
- :receipt
If specified with a True value, the "receipt" name of the card will be returned. This is currently only applicable for some Discover cards that will be shown as "PayPal" on receipts. Default is False.
- :obsolete
A Boolean flag whether to report an obsolete name for the given card number. By default False. If specified with a True value, will report the card type under its original name, rather then the current rebranded card.
use Business::CreditCard;
say validate("5276 4400 6542 1319"); # TrueThe validate subroutine returns True if the card number provided passes the checksum test, and False otherwise.
This distribution owes a great debt to Perl's Business::CreditCard, originally written by Jon Orwant, and currently maintained by Ivan Kohler.
