NAME

Net::IP::Identifier::Plugin::Google - identify Google (AS15169) owned IP addresses

VERSION

version 0.054

SYNOPSIS

use Net::IP::Identifier::Plugin::Google;

DESCRIPTION

Net::IP::Identifier::Plugin::Google identifies Google (AS15169) host IPs.

Methods

new

Creates a new Net::IP::Identifier::Plugin::Google object.

refresh

Uses a method described by Google (https://support.google.com/a/answer/60764?hl=en) to fetch the current list of Google net blocks. Replaces the default list of hard-coded netblocks (which is current as of August 2014).

This method requires about four DNS queries (currently). If having up-to-date netblock information is more important than the time it takes to do the queries, arrange to call this method after the object is created, and perhaps periodically thereafter.
