NAME

       SMS::Send::Driver - Base class for SMS::Send drivers

DESCRIPTION

       The "SMS::Send::Driver" class provides an abstract base class for all SMS::Send driver
       classes.

       At this time it does not provide any implementation code for drivers (although this may
       change in the future) with the exception of some methods provided to trigger "does not
       implement method" errors.

       However, it does serve as something you should sub-class your driver from to identify it
       as a SMS::Send driver.

       Please note that if your driver class not not return true for
       "$driver-"isa('SMS::Send::Driver')> then the SMS::Send constructor will refuse to use your
       class as a driver.

METHODS

   new
       The "new" constructor is required to be implemented by your driver subclass.

       It recieves a set of arbitrary paired params. The values of these params are assumed to be
       driver-specific (this is expected to change).

       If your driver will need to login to some system, locate hardware, or do some other form
       of initialisation to validate the SMS delivery mechanism exists, it should do so in "new".

       Should return a new SMS::Send::Driver-subclass object, or die on error.

   send_sms
       The "send_sms" method is required to be implemented by your driver subclass.

       It recieves a set of param pairs as documented in SMS::Send.

       Should return true for either success or fire-and-forget with unknown result, defined-but-
       false ('' or 0) for a failed message send, or die on a fatal error.
