NAME
Mozilla::PublicSuffix - Get a domain name's public suffix via Mozilla's Public Suffix List
SYNOPSIS
use feature "say";
use Mozilla::PublicSuffix "public_suffix";
say public_suffix("org"); # "org"
say public_suffix("perl.org"); # "org"
say public_suffix("perl.orc"); # undef
say public_suffix("ga.gov.au"); # "gov.au"
say public_suffix("ga.goo.au"); # undefDESCRIPTION
This module provides a single function that returns the public suffix of a domain name by referencing a parsed copy of Mozilla's Public Suffix List (official website at http://publicsuffix.org).
A copy of the official list is bundled with the distribution. As the official list continues to be updated, the bundled copy will inevitably fall out of date. Therefore, if the bundled copy of found to be over thirty days old, this distribution's installer provides the option to check for a new version of the list and download/use it if one is found.
FUNCTIONS
- public_suffix($domain)
-
Exported on request. Simply returns the public suffix of the passed domain, or
undefif a public suffix is not found.
SEE ALSO
- Domain::PublicSuffix
-
Similar to this module, with an object-oriented interface and somewhat alternative interpretation of the rules Mozilla stipulates for determining a public suffix.
