NAME
   Net::Domain::ExpireDate - obtain expiration date of domain names

SYNOPSIS
    use Net::Domain::ExpireDate;

    $expiration_obj = expire_date( 'microsoft.com' );
    $expiration_str  = expire_date( 'microsoft.com', '%Y-%m-%d' );
    $expiration_obj = expdate_int( $whois_text, 'com' );
    $expiration_str  = expdate_fmt( $whois_text, 'ru', '%Y-%m-%d' );

    ($creation_obj, $expiration_obj) = domain_dates( 'microsoft.com' );
    ($creation_str, $expiration_str) = domain_dates( 'microsoft.com', '%Y-%m-%d' );
    ($creation_obj, $expiration_obj) = domdates_int( $whois_text, 'com' );

DESCRIPTION
   Net::Domain::ExpireDate gets WHOIS information of given domain using
   Net::Whois::Raw and tries to obtain expiration date of domain.
   Unfortunately there are too many different whois servers which provides
   whois info in very different formats. Net::Domain::ExpireDate knows more
   than 40 different formats of expiration date representation provided by
   different servers (almost all gTLD registrars and some ccTLD registrars
   are covered). Now obtaining of domain creation date is also supported.

   "$date" in synopsis is an object of type Time::Piece.

   Note: some operations need a specific set of LC_TIME locale (en_US).

       page for "FORMAT" specification.

   domain_dates( DOMAIN [,FORMAT] )
