It supports concatenated text messages (over the 160-character limit of normal text messages, achieved by sending multiple messages with a header to indicate that they are part of one message (this is handset-dependent, but supported by all reasonably new mobiles). =head1 METHODS =over =item new (constructor) You must create an instance of SMS::AQL, passing it the username and password of your AQL account: $sms = new SMS::AQL({ username => 'fred', password => 'bloggs' }); You can pass extra parameters (such as the default sender number to use, or a proxy server) like so: $sms = new SMS::AQL({ username => 'fred', password => 'bloggs', options => { sender => '+44123456789012', proxy => 'http://user:pass@host:port/', }, }); =cut sub new { my ($package, $params) = @_; if (!$params->{username} || !$params->{password}) { warn 'Must supply username and password'; return undef; } my $self = bless { contents => {} } => ($package || 'SMS::AQL'); # get an LWP user agent ready $self->{ua} = new LWP::UserAgent; $self->{ua}->agent("SMS::AQL/$VERSION"); # configure user agent to use a proxy, if requested: # TODO: validate supplied proxy details if ($params->{options}->{proxy}) { $self->{ua}->proxy(['http','https'] => $params->{options}->{proxy}); } # remember the username and password ($self->{user}, $self->{pass}) = ($params->{username}, $params->{password}); # remember extra params: $self->{options} = $params->{options}; # the list of servers we can try: $self->{sms_servers} = [qw( gw1.sms2email.com gw11.sms2email.com gw2.sms2email.com gw22.sms2email.com )]; $self->{voice_servers} = ['vp1.aql.com']; # remember the last server response we saw: $self->{last_response} = ''; $self->{last_response_text} = ''; $self->{last_error} = ''; $self->{last_status} = 0; return $self; } =item send_sms($to, $message [, \%params]) Sends the message $message to the number $to, optionally using the parameters supplied as a hashref. If called in scalar context, returns 1 if the message was sent, 0 if it wasn't. If called in list context, returns a two-element list, the first element being 1 for success or 0 for fail, and the second being a message indicating why the message send operation failed. You must set a sender, either at new or for each send_sms call. Examples: if ($sms->send_sms('+44123456789012', $message)) { print "Sent message successfully"; } my ($ok, $msg) = $sms->send_sms($to, $msg); if (!$ok) { print "Failed to send the message, error: $msg\n"; } =cut sub send_sms { my ($self, $to, $text, $opts) = @_; $to =~ s/[^0-9+]//xms; # assemble the data we need to POST to the server: my %postdata = ( username => $self->{user}, password => $self->{pass}, orig => $opts->{sender} || $self->{options}->{sender}, to_num => $to, message => $text, ); if (!$postdata{orig}) { $self->{last_error} = "Cannot send message without sender specified"; warn($self->{last_error}); return 0; } my $response = $self->_do_post($self->{sms_servers}, '/sms/postmsg-concat.php', \%postdata); if ($response && $response->is_success) { $self->_check_aql_response_code($response); return wantarray ?

(0, $self->last_error) : 0; } # end of sub send_sms =item voice_push($to, $message [, \%params]) Make a telephone call to the given phone number, using speech synthesis to read out the message supplied. $to and $message are the destination telephone number and the message to read out. The third optional parameter is a hashref of options to modify the behaviour of this method - currently, the only option is: =over 4 =item skipintro Skips the introductory message that AQL's system normally reads out. (If you use this, it's recommended to add your own introduction to your message, for example "This is an automated call from ACME Inc...") =back If called in scalar context, returns 1 if the message was sent, 0 if it wasn't. If called in list context, returns a two-element list, the first element being 1 for success or 0 for fail, and the second being a message indicating why the operation failed.
