NAME

Net::SMS::Mach - Send SMS messages via the Mach HTTP API

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

  # Create a testing sender
  my $sms = Net::SMS::Mach->new(
      userid => '123456', password => 'testpass'
  );

  # Send a message
  my ($sent, $status) = $sms->send_sms(
      message => "All your base are belong to us",
      number  => '1234567890',
      sender  => '+441234567890',
  );

  $sent will contain a true / false if the sending worked,
  $status will contain the status message from the provider.

  # If you just want a true / false if it workes, use :
  my $sent = $sms->send_sms(
      message => "All your base are belong to us",
      number  => '1234567890',
  );

  # If your message is utf8 encoded, or you are unsure if it's iso-8859-1,
  # use the encode flag to get the message UCS encoded.
  my ($sent, $status, $desc) = $sms->send_sms(
      message => "All your base are belong to us",
      number  => '1234567890',
      encode => 1,
  );

  if ($sent) {
      # Success, message sent
  }
  else {
      # Something failed
      warn("Failed : $status");
  }

DESCRIPTION

Perl module to send SMS messages through the HTTP API provided by Mach (mach.com).

METHODS

new

new( userid => '123456', password => 'testpass' )

Nothing fancy. You need to supply your username and password in the constructor, or it will complain loudly.

send_sms

send_sms(number => $phone_number, message => $message, encode => 0, backup_server => 1)

Uses the API to send a message given in $message to the phone number given in $phone_number.

Phone number should be given with only digits, or with a "+" prefix.

1234567890

Returns a true / false value and a status message. The message is "success" if the server has accepted your query. This does not mean that the message has been delivered.
