Thanks..

algorithm::checkdigits::m10_010
CheckDigits::M10_010(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CheckDigits::M10_010(3pm)
NAME
CheckDigits::M10_010 - compute check digits for Postscheckkonti (CH)
SYNOPSIS
use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
$pck = CheckDigits('postcheckkonti');
if ($pck->is_valid('85-12345678-7')) {
# do something
}
$cn = $pck->complete('85-12345678');
# $cn = '85-12345678-7'
$cd = $pck->checkdigit('85-12345678-7');
# $cd = '7'
$bn = $pck->basenumber('85-12345678-7');
# $bn = '85-12345678'
DESCRIPTION
ALGORITHM
1. The sequence of digits is processed left to right. For the first digit we assume a carry forward of 0.
2. For each digit d(i) the carry forward cf(i) is the digit at the the position p in the sequence ( 0, 9, 4, 6, 8, 2, 7, 1, 3, 5 ), where
p is (d(i) + cf(i-1)) modulo 10.
3. The check digit is the difference of the sum from step 3 to the next multiple of 10.
METHODS
is_valid($number)
Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and the last digit is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given
above.
Returns false otherwise,
complete($number)
The check digit for $number is computed and concatenated to the end of $number.
Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits and spaces.
basenumber($number)
Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit.
Return '' otherwise.
checkdigit($number)
Returns the checkdigit of $number if $number has a valid check digit.
Return '' otherwise.
EXPORT
None by default.
