💖 Net::RDAP::Variant 💖

okay bestie, so this is Net::RDAP::Variant — a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (section 3, the library-calls girlies 🫶). She's small, she's specific, she does exactly one job and she does it flawlessly. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Net::RDAP::Variant — a module representing one or more variants of a domain name. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs for short, iykyk) can have variant names — and whether they do depends on the script and/or the language they're written in, no cap.

The classic example, and it's giving chef's kiss: a name written in Simplified Chinese may have a variant in Traditional Chinese, and vice versa. Same vibe, different glyphs. Iconic honestly. 🌈

And here's where our girl comes in: the variants() property of Net::RDAP::Domain objects may return an array of Net::RDAP::Variant objects representing such variant names. That's literally the whole point of her existence and she ate. 💖

🎀 METHODS 🎀

  • @relation = $variant->relation; — hands you back an array of strings describing the relationship between the variants. ⭐ Now listen, this array SHOULD only contain values that are present in the IANA registry (peep Net::RDAP::Values for those, bestie, don't be out here making stuff up 🙈).
  • $table = $variant->idnTable; — returns a string that represents the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) table that has been registered in the IANA Repository of IDN Practices <https://www.iana.org/domains/idn-tables>. Go look at it, she's thorough. 🦋
  • @names = $variant->variantNames; — returns an array of Net::RDAP::VariantName objects. Yes, she's giving you more objects. She contains multitudes. 👑
