Net::Domain::ExpireDate version 0.05
====================================

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.

    "$date" in synopsis is an object of type Time::Piece.

FUNCTIONS
    expire_date( DOMAIN [,FORMAT] )
        Returns expiration date of "DOMAIN". Without "FORMAT" argument
        returns Time::Piece object. With "FORMAT" argument returns date
        formatted using "FORMAT" template. See strftime man page for
        "FORMAT" specification.

    expdate_int( WHOISTEXT [,TLD] )
        Extracts expiration date of domain in TLD from "WHOISTEXT". If no
        TLD is given 'com' is the default. There is no distinction between
        'com', 'net' or 'org' TLDs in this function - all of them means
        gTLD. Also 'ru' and 'su' TLDs is suppored. Returns Time::Piece
	object.

        With "FORMAT" argument returns date formatted using "FORMAT"
        template (see strftime man page for "FORMAT" specification)

    expdate_fmt( WHOISTEXT [,TLD [,FORMAT]] )
        Similar to expdate_int except that output value is formatted date.
        If no "FORMAT" specified, '%Y-%m-%d' is assumed. See strftime man
        page for "FORMAT" specification.
