You better edit it! =head1 NAME WWW::Fido - Perl extension to send SMS messages to phones served by Fido (http://www.fido.ca) =head1 SYNOPSIS =over 4 use WWW::Fido; $phone = new WWW::Fido ("514-123-4567", "JAPH") || die "Error: Couldn't create phone object: $@\n"; $phone->send("Hello John") || die "Error: Failed to send message: $@\n"; $phone->send("Hello Again John") || die "Error: Failed to send message: $@\n"; $phone->setnumber("514-999-8888") || die "Error: Couldn't set destination phone number: $@\n"; $phone->setname("John Brown") || die "Error: Couldn't set sender name: $@\n"; $phone->send("Hello Mary") || die "Error: Failed to send message: $@\n"; =back =head1 DESCRIPTION =over 4 This module allows you to send SMS messages to Fido subscribers. It does so by communicating with the web server at http://www.fido.ca and using the Web->SMS gateway available there. =back =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =over 4 =item new($phone, $sendername) Constructs and returns a new WWW::Fido object. An optional scalar as the first argument containing the destination phone number can be supplied. This can be used as a shortcut to save you the call to setnumber(). An optional scalar as the second argument containing the name of the sender can be supplied. This can be used as a shortcut to save you a call to setname(). =back =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item setname($name) Sets the name of the sender of the message(s). The name will appear in the SMS message at the recipient's end. =item setnumber($phone) Sets the phone number that future send() requests should go to. =item send($message) Sends the supplied message to the phone number previously set on the object. =back =head1 ERRORS ETC... =over 4 The constructor and all methods return something that evaluates to true when successful and false when not successful. If not successful, the variable $@ will contain an appropriate message clarifying why it failed. =back =head1 IMPORTANT NOTICE =over 4 Please note that depending on the subscriber's phone plan, receiving SMS messages might cost them. ALWAYS check with the recipient you use this module to send messages to beforehand. =back =head1 AUTHOR =over 4 Mina Naguib, mnaguib@cpan.org =back =head1 COPYRIGHT =over 4 Copyright (C) 2002 Mina Naguib.
