IP::Country 2.24 (Default branch) |
|
|
IP::Country is a tool for fast lookup of country
codes from IP addresses. Finding out the country
of a client using only the IP address can be
difficult. Looking up the domain name associated
with that address can provide some help, but many
IP address are not reverse mapped to any useful
domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers
no help when looking for country. This module
comes bundled with a database of countries where
various IP addresses have been assigned. Although
the country of assignment will probably be the
country associated with a large ISP rather than
the client herself, this is probably good enough
for most log analysis applications, and under test
has proved to be as accurate as reverse-DNS and
WHOIS lookup.
