DESCRIPTION

CVR is a company registration number used in conjuction with VAT handling in Denmark.

If you want to use this module with Data::FormValidator please check: Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Business::DK::CVR

SUBROUTINES AND METHODS

validate

The function takes a single argument, a 10 digit CVR number.

The function returns 1 (true) in case of a valid CVR number argument and 0 (false) in case of an invalid CVR number argument.

If the argument is a valid argument the sum is calculated by _calculate_sum based on the argument and the controlcifers array.

The sum returned is checked using a modulus caluculation and based on its validity either 1 or 0 is returned.

validateCVR

Better name for export. This is just a wrapper for "validate"

generate

Generate is a function which generates valid CVR numbers, it is by no means an authority, since CVRs are generated and distributed by danish tax authorities, but it can be used to generate example CVRs for testing and so on.

PRIVATE FUNCTIONS

_calculate_sum

This function takes an integer and calculates the sum bases on the the controlcifer array.

EXPORTS

Business::DK::CVR exports on request:

"validate"
"generate"
"_calculate_sum"

DIAGNOSTICS

  • The amount requested exceeds the maximum possible valid CVRs 9090908

    The number of valid CVRs are limited, so if the user requests a number of CVRs to be generated which exceeds the upper limit, this error is instantiated. See: "generate".
