This software enables users to find out which country an IP address belongs to.
The Geo::IP::PurePerl module is an essential tool for users who need to lookup a country by IP Address using Perl. The module operates by utilizing a file-based database that contains IP blocks and corresponding countries as keys and values, respectively.
To implement Geo::IP::PurePerl, simply include it in your project and create an instance of the class by passing the GEOIP_STANDARD parameter to the constructor. Once instantiated, you can then use the country_code_by_addr and country_code_by_name methods to look up the country for a specific IP address or domain.
This module is especially useful for selecting the geographically closest mirror automatically, analyzing web server logs to determine visitors' countries, detecting credit card fraud, and for software export controls. Moreover, the database in use is often more complete and accurate than traditional reverse DNS lookups.
Overall, Geo::IP::PurePerl is a reliable and efficient module for anyone who requires geolocation services in their programming projects.
