This algorithm is used to verify credit card numbers and Standard & Poor's security identifiers such as CUSIP's and CSIN's. You can find plenty of information about the algorithm by searching the web for "modulus 10 double add double". =head1 FUNCTION =over 4 =cut =item is_valid CHECKSUMMED_NUM This function returns true if the final character of CHECKSUMMED_NUM is the correct checksum for the rest of the number and false if not. Obviously the final character does not factor into the checksum calculation. False will also be returned if NUM contains in an invalid character as defined by valid_chars(). If NUM is not valid, $Algorithm::LUHN::ERROR will contain the reason. This function is equivalent to substr $N,length($N)-1 eq check_digit(substr $N,0,length($N)-1) =cut sub is_valid { my $N = shift; my $c = check_digit(substr($N, 0,length($N)-1)); if (defined $c) { if (substr($N,length($N)-1, 1) eq $c) { return 1; } else { $ERROR = "Check digit incorrect. Expected $c"; return ''; } } else { # $ERROR will have been set by check_digit return ''; } } =item check_digit NUM This function returns the checksum of the given number. If it cannot calculate the check_digit it will return undef and set $Algorithm::LUHN::ERROR to contain the reason why. =cut sub check_digit { my @buf = reverse split //, shift; my $totalVal = 0; my $flip = 1; foreach my $c (@buf) { unless (exists $map{$c}) { $ERROR = "Invalid character, '$c', in check_digit calculation"; return; } my $posVal = $map{$c}; $posVal *= 2 unless $flip = !$flip; while ($posVal) { $totalVal += $posVal % 10; $posVal = int($posVal / 10); } } return (10 - $totalVal % 10) % 10; } =item valid_chars LIST By default this module only recognizes 0..9 as valid characters, but sometimes you want to consider other characters as valid, e.g. Standard & Poor's identifers may contain 0..9, A..Z, @, #, *. This function allows you to add additional characters to the accepted list. LIST is a mapping of c => c. For example, Standard & Poor's maps A..Z to 10..35 so the LIST to add these valid characters would be (A, 10, B, 11, C, 12, ...) Please note that this I or I characters, so any characters already considered valid but not in LIST will remain valid. If you do not provide LIST, this function returns the current valid character map. =cut sub valid_chars { return %map unless @_; while (@_) { my ($k, $v) = splice @_, 0, 2; $map{$k} = $v; } } sub _dump_map { my %foo = valid_chars(); my ($k,$v); print "$k => $v\n" while (($k, $v) = each %foo); } =back =cut 1; __END__ =head1 AUTHOR This module was written by Tim Ayers (http://search.cpan.org/search?author=TAYERS). =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2001 Tim Ayers.
