regexp::common::sen
Regexp::Common::SEN(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Regexp::Common::SEN(3)
NAME
Regexp::Common::SEN -- provide regexes for Social-Economical Numbers.
SYNOPSIS
use Regexp::Common qw /SEN/;
while (<>) {
/^$RE{SEN}{USA}{SSN}$/ and print "Social Security Number
";
}
DESCRIPTION
Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.
Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
$RE{SEN}{USA}{SSN}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches an American Social Security Number (SSN). SSNs consist of three groups of numbers, separated by a hypen
("-"). This pattern only checks for a valid structure, that is, it validates whether a number is valid SSN, was a valid SSN, or maybe a
valid SSN in the future. There are almost a billion possible SSNs, and about 400 million are in use, or have been in use.
If "-sep=P" is specified, the pattern P is used as the separator between the groups of numbers.
Under "-keep" (see Regexp::Common):
$1 captures the entire SSN.
$2 captures the first group of digits (the area number).
$3 captures the second group of digits (the group number).
$4 captures the third group of digits (the serial number).
