( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I am looking at implementing the USPS Intelligent Mail Barcode algorithm in perl.

My first choice would be to find where someone has already done that, but no luck so far.

That leaves me with the need for some wisdom in handling a 13-byte data chunk that has both binary and decimal operations applied to it. Any advice?

Specification for the algorithm is at USPS Intelligent Barcode Page, then click on "Intelligent Mail Barcode Specification".

I have my implementation. It uses BigInt. It can be found at http://www.w0ep.us/IMBar.pl.
30-JAN-2011 found a bug in my implementation, uploading the newest to http://www.w0ep.us/IMBar.pl.
28-NOV-2011 another bug reported by a user. New version 1.4 as of today.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
