NAME
Lire::WWW::Domain - detect robots and countries from domain names

SYNOPSIS
 use Lire::WWW::Domain;
 my $test_string = "crawl4.googlebot.com";
 my $analyzer = new Lire::WWW::Domain();
 $analyzer->setDomain($test_string);
 print "  Web Robot name: " . $analyzer->getRobot() . "\n";
 print "  Country       : " . $analyzer->getCountry() . "\n";

DESCRIPTION
This module offers an interface to databases with known information useful in analyzing domain names as found in Apache logfiles. Note, that this only works if the domain names are host names and *not* ip addresses.

The default robot and country values (respectively "Unknown/No Robot" and "Unknown") can be set by using the country_default and robot_default parameters:

    my $analyzer = new Lire::WWW::Domain( country_default => "?",
                                          robot_default   => "No Robot" );
Optionally, the user can add custom information to the database with the addRobot() and addRobotHash() functions.
