Net::DRI

http://www.dotandco.com/services/software/Net-DRI/
a free software Domain Name Registration Interface.

Net::DRI is a collection of object oriented Perl modules that provides an abstract and uniform interface to connect to domain name providers, either registries, registrars or an entity at another level. Thus Net::DRI can be used by a registrar to establish connections with various registries, or by a reseller that needs to connect with its registrar, or by an end client that needs to connect with its provider, be it a registrar or not, without being forced to use the specific interface available from the provider! Net::DRI can then allow access to features that were not even available in the native provider interface, such as batch processing. Furthermore, by hiding differences between providers' interfaces, an application using Net::DRI for its connections will almost not have to be changed if there is a need to change providers, or if one provider changes the way it operates (new interface, other protocols, and so on...). With this solution, it is easy to adapt to political or technical changes of its registration providers. Net::DRI implements many transports and protocols: this allows to take into account specifics of various providers. It is an open framework, and it is easy to add new providers, protocols and transports; it also allows to easily handle cases close to a standard but with few differences. Net::DRI handles synchronous providers (ex: through a web site, the answer comes immediately) as well as asynchronous ones (ex: by email, the answer can come many hours after the request).
