DESCRIPTION
This module is an additional version for reading/writing for vCard4.0. it's just a wrapper of Text::vCard::Precisely::V3
Caution! It's NOT be recommended because some reasons below:
Mac OS X and iOS can't parse vCard4.0 with UTF-8 precisely.
Android 4.4.x can't parse vCard4.0.
Note that the vCard RFC requires FN type. And this module does not check or warn if these conditions have not been met.
