Hi, I am doing my Masters Thesis. The following is what i need to do and i need to implement it in Perl:
given any host on the Internet, i need to find out its AS number. this info i can get from a Looking glass server webpage. Now i need to write a perl script that will accept any hostname or its ip address as Input...then it should be able to connect to this looking glass server webpage, give this hostname as input to the looking glass server and it will return the AS number. i should then be able to parse this AS number and return it as output. i went thro lot of these modules on CPAN , but i am not sure which is the right package i should use. I'll be thankful if you could give any suggestions. Regards, Karthik
