NAME
Net::Domain::ExpireDate - Perl extension for obtaining expiration date of domain names
SYNOPSIS
use 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.
