Net::Domain::ExpireDate version 0.05 ==================================== NAME Net::Domain::ExpireDate - Perl extension for obtaining expiration date of domain names SYNOPSIS use Net::Domain::ExpireDate; $date = expire_date( 'microsoft.com' ); $str = expire_date( 'microsoft.com', '%Y-%m-%d' ); $date = expdate_int( $whois_text, 'com' ); $str = expdate_fmt( $whois_text, 'ru', '%Y-%m-%d' ); DESCRIPTION Net::Domain::ExpireDate gets WHOIS information of given domain using Net::Whois::Raw and tries to obtain expiration date of domain. Unfortunately there are too many different whois servers which provides whois info in very different formats. Net::Domain::ExpireDate knows more than 40 different formats of expiration date representation provided by different servers (almost all gTLD registrars and some ccTLD registrars are covered). If an expiration date format is unknown to Net::Domain::ExpireDate - then heuristics is used to determine expiration date. "$date" in synopsis is an object of type Time::Piece. FUNCTIONS expire_date( DOMAIN [,FORMAT] ) Returns expiration date of "DOMAIN". Without "FORMAT" argument returns Time::Piece object. With "FORMAT" argument returns date formatted using "FORMAT" template. See strftime man page for "FORMAT" specification. expdate_int( WHOISTEXT [,TLD] ) Extracts expiration date of domain in TLD from "WHOISTEXT". If no TLD is given 'com' is the default. There is no distinction between 'com', 'net' or 'org' TLDs in this function - all of them means gTLD. Also 'ru' TLD is suppored. Returns Time::Piece object. With "FORMAT" argument returns date formatted using "FORMAT" template (see strftime man page for "FORMAT" specification) expdate_fmt( WHOISTEXT [,TLD [,FORMAT]] ) Similar to expdate_int except that output value is formatted date. If no "FORMAT" specified, '%Y-%m-%d' is assumed. See strftime man page for "FORMAT" specification.
