use Business::RO::CNP;

my $cnp = Business::RO::CNP->new(cnp => 1551029000000);
#or:
my $cnp = Business::RO::CNP->new(1551029000000);

print $cnp->valid ? "The CNP is valid" : "The CNP is not valid";

print $cnp->sex;
print $cnp->sex_id;

METHODS

valid

This method returns 1 if the CNP is valid or 0 otherwise.

sex

This method returns 'm' if the person is a male or 'f' if is a female.

The method returns 'unknown' if the sex id of the person (the first digit in the CNP) is 9 (for non-romanian citizens).

sex_id

The method returns the first digit of the CNP. This digit is odd for men and even for women. It is 1 or 2 for those born between January 1 1900 and December 31 1999, 3 or 4 for those born between January 1 1800 and December 31 1899, 5 or 6 for those born between January 1 2000 and December 31 2099 and 7 or 8 for foreign citizens resident in Romania.

The sex id 9 is also reserved for foreign citizens.

birthday

This method returns a DateTime object that holds the birth day of the person so you can call any DateTime methods on it as exemplified in the SYNOPSIS.

county

This method returns the county where the person was born or where he received the CNP.

county_id

This method returns the county ID which is the pair of digits 8 and 9 in the CNP.

Bucharest has the ID 40 but its sectors also have their own IDs.

checksum

This method returns the last digit in the CNP and represents a pre-calculated value based on the first 12 digits of the CNP.

validator

This method calculates the checksum from the first 12 digits of the CNP and it should be equal to the result of the checksum method in order to prove that the CNP is valid.

cnp

This method returns the CNP given as parameter to the object constructor.
