DESCRIPTION

Check a given string against the Mobile Detect Library that can be found here: https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect I have prepared a Perl Version, because there is no such thing in perl and i also want to show my support for Mr. Șerban Ghiță and his fine piece of PHP Software.

The newest Version 1.17 has build in flat file database support, where the content of the downloaded json file is being preparsed and can be read into memory with the needed hash structure for perl to process.

This is the Perl Version. You need to setup LWP with HTTPS Support before (needed to regulary update the Mobile_Detect.json file from github).

Install needed modules example:
From the bash call :"cpan"
cpan [1] Promt: call "install JSON"
cpan [2] Promt: call "install JSON::XS"
cpan [3] Promt: call "install LWP::Protocol"
cpan [4] Promt: call "install LWP::Protocol::https"
cpan [5] Promt: call "install Storable"
