The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Net::IRR
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Internet Route Registry client interface
userid: TCAINE (Todd Caine)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)

rationale:
This modules is a client interface to the Internet Routing Registry
database server, http://www.irrd.net/. The IRRd was designed and
written by Merit and is used by RIPE NCC for the Route Arbiter
Database, RADB.
The first version of this module that I uploaded to the CPAN was
called IRR.pm. As we all know, this creates a new namespace in the
CPAN. Since the Perl module is a TCP client interface to the
Internet Routing Registry database server I figured that Net::IRR
would be a more appropriate namespace since this module is *VERY*
internet specific. The only other idea for names that I've had was
DBIx::IRR although this make it confusing as to what this module
actually is/does. The fact that the IRR is a highly specialized
database server, (note that this is not a relational database
server), isn't as important as the fact that this is a client
interface that will allow you to connect to a IRRd server on the
internet to perform client/server exchanges for internet routing
information.
