NAME
Text::vCard::Precisely::V4 - Read, Write and Edit vCards 4.0
SYNOPSIS
You can unlock types that will be available in vCard 4.0
my $vc = Text::vCard::Precisely->new( version => '4.0' );
# Or you can write like below:
#my $vc = Text::vCard::Precisely::V4->new();The Usage is same with Text::vCard::Precisely::V3
DESCRIPTION
This module is an additional version for reading/writing for vCard 4.0. it's just a wrapper of Text::vCard::Precisely::V3 with Moose.
Caution! It's NOT be recommended because some reasons below:
Mac OS X and iOS can't parse vCard4.0 with UTF-8 precisely.
Android 4.4.x can't parse vCard4.0.
Note that the vCard RFC requires FN type. And this module does not check or warn if these conditions have not been met.
Constructors
load_hashref($HashRef)
SAME as 3.0
loadfile($filename)

The format in as_string() is different from 3.0, but the interface is SAME

aroud UTF-8
If you want to send precisely the vCard with UTF-8 characters to the ALMOST of smartphones, Use 3.0
It seems to be TOO EARLY to use 4.0
for under perl-5.12.5
This module uses \P{ascii} in regexp so You have to use 5.12.5 and later
And this module uses Data::Validate::URI and it has bug on 5.8.x. so I can't support them
