=head1 NAME

CheckDigits::M09_001 - compute check digits for Euro notes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;

  $euro = CheckDigits('euronote');

  if ($euro->is_valid('X07738250357')) {
	# do something
  }

  $cn = $euro->complete('X0773825035');     # $cn = 'X07738250357'

  $cd = $euro->checkdigit('X07738250357'); # $cd = '7'

  $bn = $euro->basenumber('X07738250357'); # $bn = 'X0773825035'
  
=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 ALGORITHM

=over 4

=item 1

Letters are replaced with their position in the alphabet ('A' = 1, ...).

=item 2

The total of the digits of all numbers is computed.

=item 3

This sum is taken modulo 9.

=item 4

The check digit is the difference between 8 and the number of step 3.

=back

To validate the last digit of the total of the digits of all numbers
inclusive check digit must be 8.

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item is_valid($number)

Returns true only if C<$number> consists solely of numbers and the last digit
is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given above.

Returns false otherwise,

=item complete($number)

The check digit for C<$number> is computed and concatenated to the end
of C<$number>.

Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if C<$number>
does not consist solely of digits.

=item basenumber($number)

Returns the basenumber of C<$number> if C<$number> has a valid check
digit.

Return '' otherwise.

=item checkdigit($number)

Returns the checkdigit of C<$number> if C<$number> has a valid check
digit.

Return '' otherwise.

=back

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.
