Net::RD...Registry(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::RDAP::Registry::IANARegistry — bestie, this is the module that represents an RDAP bootstrap registry ✨

(It lives in the Perl manual, section 3, under User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk 🫶)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: IANA keeps a whole set of RDAP bootstrap registries lying around — one for IPv4 address blocks, one for IPv6 address blocks, one for top-level domains, one for AS number ranges, and one for object tags. Queen behaviour, honestly 👑

This class? This class represents those registries. It's the vibe check wrapper. 💅

Heads up: this class is used internally by Net::RDAP::Registry, so it's giving backstage-pass energy, not front-of-house.

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR 🎀

$registry = Net::RDAP::Registry::IANARegistry->new($data);

$data is a hashref corresponding to the decoded JSON representation of the IANA registry. That's it, that's the whole assignment. Feed it the decoded JSON, get a registry back ✨

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

$description = $registry->description;

Returns a string containing the description of the registry. It's giving... literally the description. No notes. 💖

$version = $registry->version;

Returns a string containing the version of the registry. Lowkey important, highkey just a string. 🌸

$date = $registry->publication;

Returns a DateTime::Tiny object corresponding to the date and time that the registry was last updated. And if you want just the time zone portion of the publication date, the publication_tz() method has you covered 🕐

🚨 Lore drop: prior to Net::RDAP v0.35, this method returned a DateTime, but it was switched to DateTime::Tiny for performance reasons. So if you need a DateTime, do this: perl $event->date->DateTime Do not come for me, come for the perf gains 😭

@services = $registry->services;

Returns an array of Net::RDAP::Registry::IANARegistry::Service objects corresponding to each of the RDAP services listed in the registry. One object per service, no cap 🔥
