Device::Gsm::Pdu - library to manage PDU encoded data for GSM messaging This is C<PRE-ALPHA> software, still needs extensive testing and support for custom GSM commands, so use it at your own risk, and without C<ANY> warranty! Have fun. This module is meant to be used internally by C<Device::Gsm> class, so you probably do not want to use it directly. use Device::Gsm::Pdu; # DA is destination address $DA = Device::Gsm::Pdu::encode_address('+39347101010'); $number = Device::Gsm::Pdu::decode_address( $DA ); # Encode 7 bit text to send messages $text = Device::Gsm::Pdu::encode_text7('hello'); "Device::Gsm::Pdu" module includes a few basic functions to deal with SMS in PDU mode, such as encoding GSM addresses (phone numbers) and, for now only, 7 bit text.

decode_address( pdu_encoded_address )
Takes a PDU encoded address and decodes into human-readable mobile number. If number type is international, result will be prepended with a `+' sign. Clearly, it is intended as an internal function.

Example
print Device::Gsm::Pdu::decode_address( '0B919343171010F0' ); # prints `+39347101010';

encode_address( mobile_number )
Takes a mobile number and encodes it as DA (destination address). If it begins with a `+', as in `+39328101010', it is treated as an international number.

Example
print Device::Gsm::Pdu::encode_address( '+39347101010' ); # prints `0B919343171010F0'

encode_text7( text_string )
Encodes some text ASCII string in 7 bits PDU format, including a header byte which tells the length is septets. This is the only 100% supported mode to encode text.

Example
print Device::Gsm::Pdu::encode_text7( 'hellohello' ); # prints `0AE832...' Cosimo Streppone, cosimo@cpan.org This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it only under the terms of Perl itself. Device::Gsm(3), perl(1)
