Regexp:...RI::tel(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the Regexp:...RI::tel(3) header, fresh from User Contributed Perl Documentation — and the main-character module is Regexp::Common::URI::tel — Returns a pattern for telephone URIs. That’s the NAME section, bestie; we ate and left no crumbs. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

literally just:

use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

while (<>) {
    /$RE{URI}{tel}/       and  print "Contains a telephone URI.\n";
}

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

💖 $RE{URI}{tel}

Returns a pattern that matches tel URIs, as defined by RFC 2806. Under {-keep}, the following are returned:

• $1 — The complete URI.
• $2 — The scheme.
• $3 — The phone number, including any possible add-ons like ISDN subaddress, a post dial part, area specifier, service provider, etc.

slay, those captures are iconic. 🫶

🦋 "$RE{URI}{tel}{nofuture}"

As above (including what’s returned by {-keep}), with the exception that future extensions are not allowed. Without allowing those future extensions, it becomes much easier to check a URI if the correct syntax for post dial, service provider, phone context, etc has been used - otherwise the regex could always classify them as a future extension.

ngl, this one is the strict bestie of the group chat. 💅
