# The net/p5-IP-Country port

## p5-IP-Country-2.27p0 – fast lookup of country codes by IP address

## Description

    Finding the home country of a client using only the IP address can be
    difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can
    provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any
    useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when
    looking for country.

    This module comes bundled with a database of countries where various IP
    addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will
    probably be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the
    client herself, this is probably good enough for most log analysis
    applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as reverse-DNS
    and WHOIS lookup.
