Number...:UK::IM(3pm)

✨ Number...:UK::IM(3pm) — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is Number...:UK::IM(3pm), which is genuinely one of those lil pages you only find when you're deep in phone-number lore. it's part of the Perl docs (the user-contributed ones), and it's here to tell you about the IM-specific flavor of Number::Phone. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Number::Phone::UK::IM — IM-specific methods for Number::Phone. that's the whole vibe, no cap.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class implements the IM-specific methods for Number::Phone. think of it as the lil specialist subclass that handles the Isle of Man stuff 💖

the family tree goes like this: it's a subclass of Number::Phone::UK, which is itself a subclass of Number::Phone. and the reason Number::Phone::UK sits in the middle like the main character is that IM (that's the Isle of Man, iykyk) is treated as part of the UK for just about all telephonic purposes. iconic honestly 🌈

the way that you should never need to use this module directly… because Number::Phone::UK will load it automatically when needed. so like, don't come for it manually, it'll show up on its own when it's time. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole flex, verbatim:

use Number::Phone::UK

my $phone_number = Number::Phone->new('+44 1624 654321');
# returns a Number::Phone::UK::IM object

yep, you make a Number::Phone object with that Manx number and boom 💥 — what comes back is a Number::Phone::UK::IM object. slay.

---

💜 METHODS 💜

the following methods from Number::Phone::UK are overridden. yes bestie, overridden, they said what they said:

• regulator — returns information about the national telecomms regulator. that's the tea ☕️ the regulator info, served fresh.
