Device::KeyStroke::Mobile

February 20, 2003

I’ made a new module entry on CPAN: Device::KeyStroke::Module

NAME     Device::KeyStroke::Mobile - Calculate key stroke times with mobile phone     keypads

SYNOPSIS       use Device::KeyStroke::Mobile;       my $typing_times = calc_keystroke(‘example.com’);

DESCRIPTION     Device::KeyStroke::Mobile is a module to calculate how many times you     need to type keypads in mobile phone to build a word. For example, when     you type “example.com” with a mobile keypad,

      e: 3 3       x: 9 9       a: 2       m: 6       p: 7       l: 5 5 5       e: 3 3       .: *       c: 2 2 2       o: 6 6 6 >       m: 6

    you need to type keys 21 times.

    This module would be useful when you conider taking a new domain name     which is easy to type with mobile phones.
