NAME

       Number::Phone::Lib - Instantiate Number::Phone::* objects from libphonenumber

SYNOPSIS

           use Number::Phone::Lib;

           $daves_phone = Number::Phone::Lib->new('+442087712924');
           $daves_other_phone = Number::Phone::Lib->new('+44 7979 866 975');
           # alternatively      Number::Phone::Lib->new('+44', '7979 866 975');
           # or                 Number::Phone::Lib->new('UK', '07979 866 975');

           if ( $daves_phone->is_mobile() ) {
               send_rude_SMS();
           }

       This subclass of Number::Phone exclusively uses classes generated from Google's
       libphonenumber project <https://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/>.  libphonenumber
       doesn't have enough data to support all the features of Number::Phone, but you might want
       to use its data and no other for a few reasons:

       •   Compatibility with libphonenumber's Java, C++, and JavaScript implementations.

       •   Performance. UK Number parsing and validation by Number::Phone::UK, in particular, has
           a substantial overhead thanks to its embedded database. If all you need is simple
           validation and/or formatting, all that overhead is unnecessary.

       That said, the core Number::Phone UK module is far more comprehensive.
