Net::Fritz - perl module for AVM Fritz!Box interaction via TR-064

what

Net::Fritz is a set of Perl modules to communicate with an AVM
Fritz!Box (and possibly other routers as well) via the TR-064
protocol. The AVM Fritz!Box is a popular home router family in
Germany (and beyond).

why

I wanted to use an old analog field telephone with my FritzBox and
VoIP. While this works quite out-of-the box (it’s just an ordinary
analog phone) for receiving calls, I have no way to dial a number for
outgoing calls.

Luckily the Fritz!Box has a call helper mode where you can tell it to
dial a number and patch it through to any local phone, but I found no
Perl library to use this feature. So I wrote my own library - the one
you’re looking at right now.

installation

The latest release of Net::Fritz can be installed directly from CPAN,
eg. via

$ cpan -i Net::Fritz

$ cpanm Net::Fritz

building

To build and install the current development version of Net::Fritz
module, you need to have Dist::Zilla installed. Run the dzil
command - if it is available, Dist::Zilla should be installed.

To install or upgrade Dist::Zilla use

$ cpan -i Dist::Zilla

$ cpanm Dist::Zilla

Then clone this repository, enter it and start the install process:

$ git clone https://github.com/mmitch/fritz.git
$ cd fritz
$ dzil install

Any missing dependencies should be reported automatically and can be
installed by

$ dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm
$ dzil listdeps --missing | cpanm

Afterwards, try the installation again with

$ dzil install

where to get it

Net::Fritz source is hosted at https://github.com/mmitch/fritz
The latest released version is available on CPAN at
