This module handles all of the restful web service calls to Unified Software's BankValInternational IBAN validate service. It also handles fail over to the back up services transparently to the calling script. It can be called in a procedural or OO fashion (see synopsis)
The exportable method &ibanValidate(); takes a number of parameters including;
1: Format - the response format (either xml, json or csv)
2: IBAN - the IBAN to be validated
3: UserID - available from www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk
4: PIN - available from www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk
(UserID and PIN are available from http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk/freetrial/free-trial-home.html)
The order of the parameters must be as above. The UserID and PIN can be stored in the InternationalLoginConfig.txt file bundled with this module, the use of this file saves passing the PIN and user ID data with each call to ibanValidate. For example, a call to validate an IBAN passing the user ID and PIN as parameters and printing the reply to console should follow this form:
=====================================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl use Finance::BankVal::International::IBANValidate qw(&ibanValidate); my $ans = ibanValidate('XML','ANIBANNUMBERGOESHERE','xmpl123','12345'); print $ans;
=============================OR for OO===============================
use Finance::BankVal::International::IBANValidate; $ibanObj = Finance::BankVal::International::IBANValidate->new(); my $ans = $ibanObj->ibanValidate('XML','ANIBANNUMBERGOESHERE','xmpl123','12345'); print $ans;
valid parameter lists are:-
ibanValidate('$format','$iban','$userID','$PIN');
ibanValidate('$format','$iban');
n.b. the last parameter list requires that the user ID and PIN are stored in the InternationalLoginConfig.txt file bundled with this module.
None by default. &ibanValidate is exported on request i.e. "use Finance::BankVal::International::IBANValidate qw(&ibanValidate);"
This module requires these other modules and libraries:
use LWP::UserAgent; use XML::Simple; use JSON;
Crypt::SSLeay is also required as it is a dependency of LWP::UserAgent.
Crypt::SSLeay is typically bundled with windows Perl ports, however on *nix you may need to install it by:
sudo aptitude install libssl-dev (might not be neccessary and can be removed after install) sudo cpan -i Crypt::SSLeay
