how to validate id number code example
Example: validate id number
# NB--> Language: Perl
# NB--> Country of ID: South Africa (RSA)
use Scalar::Util 'looks_like_number';
sub Validate_IdNum($);
sub GetLuhnDigit($);
#----------------------------------------------------------------#
# Validates the id number being parsed and returns a boolean,
# If the id number is valid, returns 0, otherwise returns 1
# PARAMETERS
# <sIdNo> The id number that needs to be validated
# EXAMPLES
# <IN:94091850160a0> <OUTPUT:[0]["Id number cannot contain numeric values"]>
