package BarcodeID; =head1 NAME BarcodeID - Perform simple identification and validation on UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, CODE39 barcodes =head1 SYNOPSIS use BarcodeID qw/validate identify barcode type/; my $id = BarcodeID->new('barcode' => '012345'); print $id->barcode(); $id->identify(); print $id->type(); if($id->validate()) { print "Invalid barcode"; } #### OR my $id = BarcodeID->new('barcode' => '012345', 'type' => 'UPCE'); if($id->validate()) { print "Invalid barcode"; } =head1 DESCRIPTION When passing the barcode you should omit the check digit, so for a UPCA you should only be passing 11 digits, for a UPCE you should just be passing 6, EAN-8 should be 7 EAN-13 should be 12, the only difference in CODE39 which is variable length and as such the only checking performed here is that is doesn't contain invalid characters. You can just pass in a barcode and identify it or you can pass in a barcode and a type and validate it. =cut use base 'Exporter'; use strict; use warnings; use AutoLoader qw(AUTOLOAD); use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS); our @ISA = qw(Exporter); @EXPORT_OK = qw/new validate identify barcode type/; @EXPORT = qw//; %EXPORT_TAGS = (all => [@EXPORT_OK]); $VERSION = "0.1"; =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 new my $id = BarcodeID->new('barcode' => 'A12345'); You can pass in the optional parameters 'barcode' and 'type' =cut sub new { my $type = shift; my %params = @_; my $self = {}; $self->{'barcode'} = $params{'barcode'}; $self->{'type'} = $params{'type'}; bless $self, $type; return $self; } =head2 validate my $a = $id->validate(); This will check and see if the type has been set if not it will identify the type and then validate, if the type is set it will just validate. This returns 0 for pass and 1 for fail. =cut sub validate { my $self = shift; if( $self->{'type'} ) { return _validate_identified($self); } else { return _identify_validate($self); } } =head2 new my $type = $id->identify(); The identify function just checks the length of the barcode, additionally if checks to see if it contains none numeric characters, if it does it automatically identifys it as CODE39, please note it is not validated 'A##$@%' would be identified as a CODE39 but it is invalid when the validate function is call it would fail this. This function will return the name of the type, or a 2 on the event of failure to identify. =cut sub identify { my $self = shift; if((length($self->{'barcode'}) > 12) || ($self->{'barcode'} !~ /^\d*$/)) { $self->{'type'} = 'CODE39'; return $self->{'type'}; } elsif(length($self->{'barcode'}) == 11) { $self->{'type'} = 'UPCA'; return $self->{'type'}; } elsif(length($self->{'barcode'}) == 6) { $self->{'type'} = 'UPCE'; return $self->{'type'}; } elsif(length($self->{'barcode'}) == 7) { $self->{'type'} = 'EAN8'; return $self->{'type'}; } elsif(length($self->{'barcode'}) == 12) { $self->{'type'} = 'EAN13'; return $self->{'type'}; } else { return 2; } } =head2 barcode my $barcode = $id->barcode(); # or $id->barcode('1029384'); This function will allow you to view or set the barcode parameter, if you pass a parameter it will set the barcode to that parameter, if you do not it will just return the currently set barcode. =cut sub barcode { my ($self, $newval) = @_; $self->{'barcode'} = $newval if $newval; return $self->{'barcode'}; } =head2 type my $type = $id->type(); # or $id->type('EAN8'); This function will allow you to view or set the barcode type parameter, if you pass a parameter it will set the type to that parameter, if you do not it will just return the currently set barcode type. =cut sub type { my ($self, $newval) = @_; $self->{'type'} = $newval if $newval; return $self->{'type'}; } #### # _validate_identified # Internal sub to validate a barcode by length and # a regex of valid characters. # sub _validate_identified { my $self = shift; my %barcode_chars = ( 'UPCA' => ['0123465789','11'], 'UPCE' => ['0123456789','6'], 'EAN8' => ['0123456789','7'], 'EAN13' => ['0132456789','12'], 'CODE39' => ['0-9A-Z\-.*\$/+%','0'], ); if ( ( length($self->{'barcode'}) == $barcode_chars{$self->{'type'}}[1] ) || ($barcode_chars{$self->{'type'}}[1] == 0) ) { my $regexp = $barcode_chars{$self->{'type'}}[0]; if( $self->{'barcode'} !~ /^[$regexp]*$/ ) { return 1; } else { return 0; } } else { return 1; } } #### # _identify_validate # Internal sub to identify a barcode by length and # a regex of valid characters.
