| Summary : Whois Client Interface for Perl5.
|
Description :
The Net::XWhois class provides a generic client framework for doing Whois
queries and parsing server response.
The class maintains an array of top level domains and whois servers
associated with them. This allows the class to transparently serve requests
for different tlds, selecting servers appropriate for the tld. The server
details are, therefore, hidden from the user and \"vipul.net\" (from
InterNIC), gov.ru (from RIPE) and \"bit.ch\" (from domreg.nic.ch) are queried
in the same manner. This behaviour can be overridden by specifying
different bindings at object construction or by registering associations
with the class. See the \"register_associations()\" manpage and the \"new()\"
manpage.
One of the more important goals of this module is to enable the design of
consistent and predictable interfaces to incompatible whois response
formats. The Whois RFC (954) does not define a template for presenting
server data; consequently there is a large variation in layout styles as
well as content served across servers.
(There is, however, a new standard called RPSL (RFC2622) used by RIPE
(http://www.ripe.net), the European main whois server.)
To overcome this, Net::XWhois maintains another set of tables - parsing
rulesets - for a few, popular response formats. (See the \"%PARSERS\"
manpage). These parsing tables contain section names (labels) together with
regular expressions that _match_ the corresponding section text. The
section text is accessed \"via\" labels which are available as data instance
methods at runtime. By following a consistent nomenclature for labels,
semantically related information encoded in different formats can be
accessed with the same methods.
