CheckDigits::M10_011

compute check digits UPS (US)

  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $ups = CheckDigits('ups');
  if ($ups->is_valid('1Z 591580 68 55587736')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $ups->complete('1Z 591580 68 5558773');
  # $cn = '1Z 591580 68 55587736'
  $cd = $ups->checkdigit('1Z 591580 68 55587736');
  # $cd = '6'
  $bn = $ups->basenumber('1Z 591580 68 55587736');
  # $bn = '1Z 591580 68 5558773'

ALGORITHM

1.
Beginning left all numbers are weighted alternatively 1 and 2.
2.
The sum of all products is computed.
3.
The sum of step 3 ist taken modulo 10.
4.
The check digit is the difference between 10 and the number from step 3.

METHODS

Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and the last digit is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given above.

Returns false otherwise,

The check digit for $number is computed and concatenated to the end of $number.

Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits and spaces.

Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit.

Return '' otherwise.

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

Return '' otherwise.

EXPORT

None by default.
