NAME

Net::DRI - Interface to Domain Name Registries/Registrars/Resellers

DESCRIPTION

Net::DRI is a Perl library to access services offered by domain name providers, such as registries or registrars. DRI stands for Domain Registration Interface and it aims to be for domain name registries/registrars/resellers what DBI is for databases: an abstraction over multiple providers, with multiple policies, transports and protocols all used through a uniform API.

It is an object-oriented framework implementing RRP (RFC 2832/3632), EPP (core EPP in RFC 4930/4931/4932/4933/4934, extensions in RFC 3915/4114/4310/5076 and various extensions of ccTLDs/gTLDs - currently more than 30 TLDs are directly supported with extensions), RRI (.DE registration protocol), Whois, DAS (Domain Availability Service used by .BE, .EU), .FR/.RE email and webservices interface, and resellers interface of some registrars (Gandi, OpenSRS, etc.). It has transports for connecting with TCP/TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, Web Services (XML-RPC and SOAP with/without WSDL), or SMTP-based registries/registrars.

It is not limited to handling of domain names, it can be easily extended. For example, it supports ENUM registrations and validations, or DNSSEC provisioning.

Please see the included README file for full details.
