BCH (CashAddress) wallet validation

olindo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Oh glorious Monks, please hear my cry for help.

I am working on some projects that involves validating some cryptocoins wallets. For now I am able to validate BTC (Bitcoin) and ETH (Ethereum) wallets, but I'm stuck with BCH (Bitcoin Cash)

I found some example in other unworthy languages like PHP (https://github.com/bitcoincoltd/cashaddress) or JS (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ayms/cashaddress/master/cashaddress.js)

I've started porting the JS example to Perl, but after "bs32_decode" I'm stuck at the "polymod" function, and I fear even the rest is too complicated for me

Does anyone have a BCH validator, or can help me finish mine?

Thank for your precious attention, wise Monks

Hi olindo, perhaps this documentation on a polymod function will help you understand what it does (even though I know this is Perl 6 documentation): https://docs.perl6.org/routine/polymod. HTH.	[reply]

Hello olindo and welcome to the monastery! Knowning nothing of the matter I found Bitcoin address validation at rosettacode and this perl code you can find useful. L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes infact I used that for BTC validation, however BCH is different and I can't reuse that code	[reply]
