This module is a super simple interface to the TxtLocal API which lets you send SMS messages from your code.
TxtLocal is a UK based SMS service which lets you send messages to mobiles worldwide. Their website is clean, their pricing reasonable and their API pretty good too.

$txtlocal = Net::SMS::TxtLocal->new( uname => 'you@domain.com', pword => 'secret', from => 'Your Name', # optional );
Create a sender object. uname and pword are required and should be your login to the TxtLocal system.
uname
pword
from is optional and is added to any messages sent.
from
my $credit_balance = $txtlocal->get_credit_balance();
Get the credit balance for this account from TxtLocal. This will try to connect to their servers and is a good way to test that the connection is available.
$bool = $txtlocal->send_message( { message => 'the text of the message', to => ['447890123456'], } );
Send a message to the numbers given in the array.
my $response = $txtlocal->_make_request( { path => '/path/to/page.php', query => { foo => 'bar' }, } );
Make a POST request to the TxtLocal servers. The uname and pword will be added to the request and content returned - either as a string or a datastructure.
