The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SMS::MT
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Sends mobile terminated SMS messages.
userid: CMANLEY (Craig Manley)
chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules)
communities:
newsgroup comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
Net::SMS WWW::SMS
rationale:
Maybe Net::SMS would have been a better choice if it had not
existed, but unfortunately it exists and it belongs to Simplewire so
that you can only send SMS's via Simplewire.
WWW::SMS has just been proposed as another module for sending SMS's
through free services and via HTTP protocol only.
GSM::SMS exists but has a totally different design with many
related modules and I don't want to pollute that namespace.
I chose SMS as the root namespace because all my modules are
related to SMS only (and do not necessarily have anything to do with
the WWW or with GSM's). Other SMS related packages I'm proposing
are: SMS::Ringtone::RTTTL::Parser, SMS::Ringtone::RTTTL::MIDI, and
SMS::Image.
I have no SMS::Ringtone class, so others may use that as the root
for their ringtone based module names.
I have no class called SMS so that others may use the SMS root
namespace as the base for their module names (for example
SMS::MassMailer or whatever).
My main class SMS::MT is meant to be a simple and signle interface
for sending SMS's to any SMS service provider. Support for different
SMS service providers is implemented by means of plugin modules
(similar to the idea behind DBI and all the database plugin
drivers).
I've got the list of modules and their POD's at this URL:
