  Description : Net::IRR - Perl interface to the Internet Route Registry 
Daemon

This module provides an object oriented perl interface to the Internet Route 
Registry. The interface uses the RIPE/RPSL Tool Query Language as defined in 
Appendix B of the IRRd User Guide. The guide can be found at 
http://www.irrd.net/, however an understanding of the query language is not 
required to use this module.

Net::IRR supports IRRd's multiple-command mode. Multiple-command mode is good 
for intensive queries since only one TCP connection needs to be made for 
multiple queries. The interface also allows for additional queries that aren't 
supported by standard UNIX whois utitilies.

Hopefully this module will stimulate development of new Route Registry tools 
written in Perl. An example of Route Registry tools can be found by googling 
for RAToolset which is now known as the IRRToolset. The RAToolset was 
originally developed by ISI, http://www.isi.edu/, and is now maintained by 
RIPE, http://www.ripe.net/.

 This is a really old description. IRRToolset has long moved under ISC's
 umbrella¹ where is dying a slow death… There's even an ITP for it (with
 packages prepared) but I've hesitated to upload since it seems to be
 abandoned upstream.

OK, I can remove that part from the package description for Net::IRR if
that helps.

Probably best to notify the upstream author, though.
