notify by sms!

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

#/usr/bin/perl -w
use WWW::SMS;

my $sms = WWW::SMS->new("36973814824", "This is a test!");

for ( $sms->gateways(sorted => 'reliability') )     #for every compati
+ble gateway
{
   if ( $sms->send( $_ ) )
   {                                                #try to send sms
      last;                                         #until it succeds
   }
   else
   {
      print $WWW::SMS::Error;                        #here is the erro
+r
   }
}

Golden Telecom no longer allows international SMS messages as is explained here. As such, the number of countries that WWW-SMS will work with has been reduced. Unfortunately the module does not support Hungary at this time. Right now it supports the following countries: Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and the UK. If you could find a SMS internet gateway for Hungary, you could submit it to the development team and hope they add support.

Same for Greece, unfortunately. Again, if you can find someplace on the net that allows for you to send SMS messages to Greek phones, submit it to the development team and they may be able to help you out. Of course, you could roll your own as the module itself just uses a bunch of other modules to actually get the information. The module is just a method of abstracting out the multiple implementations to provide a single interface. antirice The first rule of Perl club is - use Perl The ith rule of Perl club is - follow rule i - 1 for i > 1	[reply]

You need to add a country code, prefixed with a `+` sign. The Uk country code is 44, for example, so that would mkae your constructor: `my $sms = WWW::SMS->new("+4436973814824", "This is a test!");`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
