Device::Gsm::Sms - SMS message internal class that represents a single text SMS message # A list of Device::Gsm::Sms messages is returned by # Device::Gsm messages() method. use Device::Gsm; ... @sms = $gsm->messages(); if( @sms ) { foreach( @sms ) { print $msg->recipient() , "\n"; print $msg->sender() , "\n"; print $msg->content() , "\n"; print $msg->time() , "\n"; print $msg->type() , "\n"; } } # Or you can instance a sms message from raw PDU data my $msg = new Device::Gsm::Sms( header => '+CMGL: ...', pdu => `[encoded pdu data]' ); if( defined $msg ) { print $msg->recipient() , "\n"; print $msg->sender() , "\n"; print $msg->content() , "\n"; print $msg->time() , "\n"; print $msg->type() , "\n"; } "Device::Gsm::Sms" class implements very basic SMS message object, that can be used to decode "+CMGL" GSM command response to build a more friendly high-level object. The following is a list of methods applicable to "Device::Gsm::Sms" objects.

decode()
Starts the decoding process of pdu binary data. If decoding process ends in success, return value is true and sms object is filled with all proper values. If decoding process has errors or pdu data is not provided, return value is 0 (zero).

delete()
Delete the current SMS message from sim card. Example: $gsm = Device::Gsm->new(); ... my @msg = $gsm->messages(); $msg[0] && $msg[0]->delete();

new()
Basic constructor. You can build a new "Device::Gsm::Sms" object from the raw +CMGL header and PDU data. Those data is then decoded and a new sms object is instanced and all information filled, to be available for subsequent method calls. The allowed parameters to new() method are: This is the raw +CMGL header string as modem outputs when you issue a +CMGL command Binary encoded sms data

index()
Returns the sms message index number, that is the position of message in the internal device memory or sim card. This number is used for example to delete the message. my $gsm = Device::Gsm->new(port=>'/dev/ttyS0'); ... my @messages = $gsm->messages(); ... # Delete the first returned message my $msg = shift @messages; $gsm->delete_sms( $msg->index() );

recipient()
Returns the sms recipient number (destination address = DA) as string (ex.: +39012345678).

sender()
Returns the sms sender number (originating address = OA) as string.

status()
Status of the message can be one value from the following list:

text()
Returns the textual content of sms message

token()
Returns the given PDU token of the decoded message (internal usage).

type()
SMS messages can be of two types: SMS_SUBMIT and SMS_DELIVER, that are defined by two constants with those names. type() method returns one of these two values. Example: if( $sms->type() == Device::Gsm::Sms::SMS_DELIVER ) { # ... } elsif( $sms->type() == Device::Gsm::Sms::SMS_SUBMIT ) { # ... } Device::Gsm None Complete and proof-read documentation and examples Device::Gsm::Sms - SMS message simple class that represents a text SMS message Copyright (C) 2002-2004 Cosimo Streppone, cosimo@cpan.org This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it only under the terms of Perl itself.
