=head1 NAME

Device::KeyStroke::Mobile - Calculate key stroke times with mobile phone keypads

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Device::KeyStroke::Mobile;
  my $typing_times = calc_keystroke('example.com');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Device::KeyStroke::Mobile is a module to calculate how many times you
need to type keypads in mobile phone to build a word. For example,
when you type C<example.com> with a mobile keypad,

  e: 3 3
  x: 9 9
  a: 2
  m: 6
  p: 7
  l: 5 5 5
  e: 3 3
  .: *
  c: 2 2 2
  o: 6 6 6 >
  m: 6

you need to type keys B<21> times.

This module would be useful when you conider taking a new domain name
which is easy to type with mobile phones.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

This module exports following functions by default.

=over 4

=item calc_keystroke

  $typing_times = calc_keystroke($text);

takes any text you wish to type in mobile phone and calculates how
many typings you need to build it. If C<$text> includes non-allowed
characters (see L</"KEY MAPPING">), it would throw an exception. Note
that this function u2c()es C<$text> first, so it ignores cases.

=head1 KEY MAPPING

By default this module uses following key mapping:

        <   >

  [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
         ABC   DEF

  [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ¡×
   GHI   JKL   MNO

  [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ]
  PQRS   TUV  WXYZ

  [ * ] [ 0 ] [ # ]
  .-@_/

This mapping is defined in C<$KeyMapping> package variable (hash-ref)
in Device::KeyStroke namespace. You can modify it like:

  $Device::KeyStroke::Mobile::KeyMapping->{1} = q[.@-_/:~];
  $Device::KeyStroke::Mobile::KeyMapping->{*} = q[];
  $Device::KeyStroke::Mobile::KeyMapping->{#} = q[,!?()#];
