Bill Fenner 28cfc06ac5 search.cpan.org redirect reduction canonicalization project, pass 3:
Refer to all modules using their /dist/Foo/ path instead of via
the mishmash of old author path, new author path, module documentation,
etc.  These are mostly stragglers that should have been caught in pass 2.

This pass brought to you by Bill's 102-degree fever during pass 2.

Finding the home country of a client using only the IP address can be
difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can
provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any
useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when
looking for country.
This module comes bundled with a database of countries where various IP
addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will
probably be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the
client herself, this is probably good enough for most log analysis
applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as
reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup.
