Net::Whois::RIPE 1.23

Net::Whois::RIPE is an object-oriented Perl library module that provides methods to query, retrieve, and update RIPE-157 formatted objects from whois servers that support this format.

In particular, both the Asian and European Internet Registries (whois.ripe.net and whois.apnic.net) support this format.

SYNOPSIS
