vim:tw=80:ft=text:ai Business::KontoCheck version 5.3 ================================ This module checks the validity of German and Austrian Bank Account Numbers. All currently defined test methods by Deutsche Bundesbank (currently: 00 to E0, February 2013) are implemented. The Österreichische Bundesbank uses a quite different approach. The basic tests are more generic; the concrete tests are described by the hash file, which is sold by SIX Card Solutions Austria GmbH, Wien. Specifications may be downloaded from http://www.six-card-solutions.at/downloads.asp The original library is a C library; the Perl port was build using the h2xs tool. If you want support only for german or only for austrian Bank Account Numbers, edit line 15 of Makefile.PL. To use only the german module, use -DINCLUDE_KONTO_CHECK_AT=0, to use only the austrian module, use -DINCLUDE_KONTO_CHECK_DE=0. A longer description and the history file are included as 00liesmich.txt and 0_history.txt (both in german). The C library is available from http://www.informatik.hs-mannheim.de/konto_check DOCUMENTATION The C source code contains the description of each check method. A synopsis and short description of (most) export functions is included in the file lib/Business/KontoCheck.pm; this is can be read after installation using the command "perldoc Businesss::KontoCheck". INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (you need to be root for the last step) DEPENDENCIES This module requires a C compiler and the zlib to build the library.
