This module offers functionality to validate, format and generate Danish phonenumbers using object-oriented programming.
Please see:
The contructor can recognise telephone numbers is the following formats as Danish phonenumbers.
White space characters are ignored. See also "phonenumber".

For valid phone number formatting please refer to "phonenumber".
This is accessor to the phonenumber attribute.
Provided with a valid phone number parameter the object's phone number attribute is set.
If the accessor is not provided with a phonenumber parameter, the one defined is in the object is returned.
See also: "validate" in Business::DK::Phonenumber, which is used internally to validate the phonenumber parameter.
Valid phone numbers have to abide to the following formatting:
The prefixed plus sign and space used as separator are optional as are the international dialing code.
The phone number can be formatted in anyway separated using whitespace characters.
This is accessor to the template attribute.
Provided with a valid template parameter the object's template attribute is set.
If the accessor is not provided with a template parameter, the one defined is in the object is returned.
See also: "validate_template" in Business::DK::Phonenumber, which is used internally to validate the template parameter.

I have been working in Telco for a long time. So validation and formatting of telephone numbers is something I have seen at lot of. This module is an attempt to sort of consolidate the numerous different regular expression solutions I have seen scathered over large code bases.
