Number...ANP::BB(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Number::Phone::NANP::BB — it's giving "BB-specific methods for Number::Phone", bestie 🎀

This page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and if you're reading it you're probably deep in the phone-number mines. Respect. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, real talk: this class is the BB-specific part of Number::Phone. It handles the stuff that only applies to BB, and it does it as a subclass of Number::Phone::NANP — which is itself a subclass of Number::Phone. Layers, hunny. It's layers. 🧅

Why the middle layer? Because Number::Phone::NANP sits there on purpose: all the NANP countries get to share some significant chunks of code, and nobody wants to rewrite the same thing twelve times. Efficiency ate, fr fr 💅

And here's the thing — you should never need to use this module directly. Not even once. 🙈 Number::Phone::NANP will load it automatically when it's needed, so just let it do its little job in the background. Main character energy from a background module, honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready 🫶

use Number::Phone::NANP;

my $phone_number = Number::Phone->new('+1 246 434 3444');
# returns a Number::Phone::NANP::BB object

Look at that. You hand it a number, it hands you back a Number::Phone::NANP::BB object. No cap. ⭐

---

💅 METHODS 💅

The following methods from Number::Phone are overridden — i.e. this module said "thanks, I'll take it from here" and did its own version:

• regulator — returns information about the national telecomms regulator. That's it, that's the whole method, and honestly? Iconic. Knowing who the regulator is = knowing who to file a complaint with, and that is power. 🔥
