NAME
WWW::CNic::NG - a next generation interface to "WWW:CNic".
USAGE
#!/usr/bin/perl use WWW::CNic::NG; use strict; my $cnic = WWW::CNic::NG->new( 'username' => 'H12345', 'password' => 'password', 'test' => 1, # run against the test database ); # $response is a WWW::CNic::Response submodule: my $response = $cnic->whois('domain' => 'example.uk.com');
SYNOPSIS
"WWW::CNIC::NG" provides a simpler and more consistent interface to the "WWW::CNIC" module. It allows you to reuse the same object for multiple API calls, and provides Toolkit commands as methods of the object.
Executing Toolkit Commands
If you have used "WWW:CNic" you will be familiar with using it like so: my $query = WWW::CNic->new( 'command' => 'whois', 'username' => 'H12345', 'password' => 'password', 'domain' => 'example.uk.com', ); $query->set(%more_params); # $response is a WWW::CNic::Response submodule: my $response = $query->execute; This is somewhat cumbersome compared to the earlier example. "WWW::CNIC::NG" serves to tidy up some of this mess. Instead of specifying the desired command as a parameter supplied to the constructor, you simply call the method you want to use on the "WWW::CNIC::NG" object. The method's parameters are then used to prepare a query, and the response from the server is returned from the method.
