Net::Domain::ExpireDate version 0.01
====================================

NAME

Net::Domain::ExpireDate - Perl extension for obtaining expiration date
of domain names

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Domain::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.
