Mobile::Wurfl is a perl module that provides an interface to mobile device
information represented in wurfl (). The
Mobile::Wurfl module works by saving this device information in a database
(preferably mysql).
It offers an interface to create the relevant database tables from a SQL file
containing "CREATE TABLE" statements (a sample is provided with the
distribution). It also provides a method for updating the data in the database
from the wurfl.xml file hosted at
.
It provides methods to query the database for lists of capabilities, and groups
of capabilities. It also provides a method for generating a "canonical" user
agent string (see "canonical_ua").
Finally, it provides a method for looking up values for particular capability /
user agent combinations. By default, this makes use of the hierarchical
"fallback" structure of wurfl to lookup capabilities fallback devices if these
capabilities are not defined for the requested device.
