To: bug-business-isbn [...] rt.cpan.org
If an ISBN object is created with an ISBN that has embedded whitespace it will validate: #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Business::ISBN; my $isbn = new Business::ISBN('1-57 076-2 19-8'); print Dumper($isbn); # will be valid... exit(0); Yours, --Ed Silva

Yes, that is correct, and it is documented in the explanation for new(). The new() method accepts a variety of formats because that is what I found in the real world. I originally wrote this module to take a bunch of hand-typed ISBNs, validate them, then spit out the correct format. Some original input had hyphens, some spaces, and some even had goofy 8-bit characters. Does this cause a problem for you? You could always check the input against the output to see if they were the same if that is what you are worried about.
