Algorithm::CheckDigits::M23_002(3)

NAME
CheckDigits::M23_002 - compute check digits for Tax Identification Number (IE)

SYNOPSIS
  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;

  $dni = CheckDigits('tin_ie');

  if ($dni->is_valid('8473625E')) {
        # do something
  }

  $cn = $dni->complete('1234567.W');
  # $cn = '1234567TW'

  $cd = $dni->checkdigit('1234577IA');
  # $cd = 'I'

  $bn = $dni->basenumber('1234577WW');
  # $bn = '1234577.W'

DESCRIPTION

  ALGORITHM
The irish TIN (Tax Identification Number) or VAT Regstration Number consists of 7 digits, a letter in the range from 'A' - 'W' as checksum, and an optionally letter in the range from 'A' - 'I' or the letter 'W'.

1.  In reverse order, each digit is multiplied by a weight started at 2. (i.e. the number left from the check digit is multiplied with 2, the next with 3 and so on).

2.  If there is an optional letter following the checksum letter (position 9), this letter is mapped to a numeric value based on the following mapping: "A" = 1, "B" = 2, ... "H" = 8, "I" = 9. "W" or absence of this letter means a value of 0. This numeric value is multiplied with 9.

3.  All products from step 1 and 2 are added.

4.  The check digit is the sum from step 3 modulo 23. This number is expressed as the corresponding letter from the alphabet where A-V correspond to 1-22 and W stands for check digit 0.

  METHODS

is_valid($number)
    Returns true only if $number complies with the rules given above and there is a valid check digit at position eight.

    Returns false otherwise,

complete($number)
    The check digit for $number is computed and inserted at position eight of $number.

    Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits and an optional letter at position nine.

basenumber($number)
    Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit. As a placeholder for the checksum a point ('.') is inserted at position eight when the checksum contains the optional letter at position nine.

    Return '' otherwise.

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

    Return '' otherwise.

  EXPORT
None by default.
