It's an implementation of Telephony::CountryDialingCode: 
    http://search.cpan.org/~cmanley/Telephony-CountryDialingCodes-1.02/lib/Telephony/CountryDialingCodes.pm
package Telephony::CountryDialingCodes; # # Copyright (C) 2004 Craig Manley.

Where did you get GPL from? http://www.perl.com/pub/a/language/misc/Artistic.html If code really was GPL then 80% of the meat of CountryDialingCodes.pm is the actual countrycode + iso3166 country code pair data. I believe those are not GPL. So recoding the part which finds country code with iso3166 key from hash should not be big problem. -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/
