DESCRIPTION

How to write custom formatters for phone numbers.

NAMING

Formatters are modules that live in the "Number::Phone::Formatter::*" namespace. Users only need to type the last bit of the name, without the leading "Number::Phone::Formatter::", when calling the "format_using" method of Number::Phone.

The 'E123' formatter name is reserved and implemented by Number::Phone subclasses in their "format()" methods.

METHODS

There is one compulsory method, "format" that you must write. It will be called as a class method, with a number in E.123 international format as its only argument, looking something like '+CC NNN NNN NNN'. The gory details are at <http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-E.123/en> but in summary, you'll get:

a plus sign

a 1, 2 or 3 digit country code

whitespace

a mixture of digits and whitespace

EXAMPLE

See Number::Phone::Formatter::Raw for an example.
