share/dist/Number-Phone/Number-Phone-UK-Data.db is 100.53 MB. Can it be compressed ? I cannot add it into git repo.

If you don't need the extra features that that file enables - mostly info on which telcos have been assigned which numbers - then you can use the --without_uk option to Makefile.PL when installing. See instructions in the README.

In the long term I plan to switch to using Data::CompactReadonly instead of DBM::Deep for that database. However, that requires a deprecation period as it will also mean that the module will no longer work on 32 bit perls. The earliest that will happen is June 2023.

Really thank you for your reply. Can I remove that big file after I install it with normal cpanm command ? installing it with --without_ok will increase complexity in my case.

DrHyde commented 2 years ago

Yes, I think that should be sufficient.

FYI the next release uses a different file format for the UK database. The file will be about 6% of the size of the previous format.
