NAME

ParseUtil::Domain - Utility for parsing a domain name into its constituent components.

SYNOPSIS

use ParseUtil::Domain ':parse';

my $processed = parse_domain("somedomain.com");
  #   $processed == { 
  #        domain => 'somedomain',
  #        domain_ace => 'somedomain',
  #        zone => 'com',
  #        zone_ace => 'com'
  #    }

DESCRIPTION

Just another tool for parsing domain names. This module makes use of the data provided by the Public Suffix List (http://publicsuffix.org/list/) to parse tlds. For completeness it tries to provide the respective puny encoded and decoded domain and tld part of a domain name. This includes proper handling of the LATIN SHARP S which is now allowed by DENIC eG (.de).

INTERFACE

parse_domain

Arguments

string

Examples:

1. 'somedomain.com' 
2. 'test.xn--o3cw4h'
3. 'bloß.co.at'
4. 'bloß.de'

Return

HASHREF

Examples:

1.
{ 
  domain => 'somedomain',
  zone => 'com',
  domain_ace => 'somedomain',
  zone_ace => 'com'
 }

2.
{ 
  domain => 'test',
  zone => 'ไทย',
  domain_ace => 'test',
  zone_ace => 'xn--o3cw4h'
 }

3.
{ 
  domain => 'bloss',
  zone => 'co.at',
  domain_ace => 'bloss',
  zone_ace => 'co.at'
 }

4.
{ 
  domain => 'bloß',
  zone => 'de',
  domain_ace => 'xn--blo-7ka',
  zone_ace => 'de'
 }

BUGS

Although, not necessarily a bug, be wary of differences in encoding/decoding domains ending in .de. These domains are not namepreped like other tlds in order to allow for encoding of the German LATIN SHARP S.
