Alternatively try this at the shell prompt:

whois 207.46.134.190 | fgrep -i country

[Nigel Horne]

As it's a perl group I should have given the Perl route:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
use Net::Whois::IANA;

my $ip = '212.159.106.41'; # Insert an IP address here

print new Net::Whois::IANA->whois_query(-ip=>$ip)->country() . "\n";

[www]

I want to know if there is a free service or database available from where I
can get the country information if I pass it the IP address. If been to a
site where you can do a free lookup, but I want to automate it.

Your help or ideas will be greatly appreciated

Cheers

GeoDirection at [url]http://www.geobytes.com/GeoDirection.htm[/url] redirects
browsers based on their geographic location and also can be used to
insert localized geographic content into a web page.

Hem... don't want to throw oil were water is needed but it seems maxmind.com is
more accurate. I'm surprised to discover I'm living in Algeria :-D. I'm Belgian
and sure I'm not spoofing anyone's identity. GeoRedirect and ip2location are
both wrong.
