IP::Country::Slow(3)

πŸ“¦ version 2.28, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, gather round, because this page comes straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's a tiny one β€” like, one-line tiny β€” but we're gonna give it the main character energy it deserves. πŸ’…

IP::Country::Slow β€” it's a Perl module (that (3) on the end is just saying "hello, I live in section 3 of the manual, I'm a library, not a command") that does a cached lookup of country codes by domain name and by IP address. πŸ¦‹

So like, you hand it a domain name, or you hand it an IP address, and it goes and finds the country code for you β€” except it's cached, which is the whole vibe here. Look it up once, keep the answer around, don't go bothering the network again. Lowkey iconic. ✨

That's genuinely it. That's the whole NAME section. No flags, no arguments, no exit statuses, no SEE ALSO, nothing else hiding in here β€” just a name and a one-liner. Not me getting all dressed up for a single sentence 😭 but honestly? Slay. πŸŽ€


And that's a wrap, bestie β€” this little page was served up by perl v5.42.0 and it's dated 2015-04-14, so it's been out here doing its cached-lookup thing since forever. Blast from the past, fr fr. πŸ«ΆπŸ’–
