Regexp::Common::URI::tel(3)

NAME
Regexp::Common::URI::tel -- Returns a pattern for telephone URIs.

SYNOPSIS
    use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

    while (<>) {
        /$RE{URI}{tel}/       and  print "Contains a telephone URI.\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION

  $RE{URI}{tel}
Returns a pattern that matches tel URIs, as defined by RFC 2806. Under "{-keep}", the following are returned:

$1  The complete URI.

$2  The scheme.

$3  The phone number, including any possible add-ons like ISDN subaddress, a post dial part, area specifier, service provider, etc.

  "$RE{URI}{tel}{nofuture}"
As above (including what's returned by "{-keep}"), with the exception that future extensions are not allowed. Without allowing those future extensions, it becomes much easier to check a URI if the correct syntax for post dial, service provider, phone context, etc has been used - otherwise the regex could always classify them as a future extension.
