NAME

Net::Whois::Object::Role - an object representation of the RPSL Role block

DESCRIPTION

The role class is similar to the person class. However, instead of describing a human being, it describes a role performed by one or more human beings. Examples include help desks, network monitoring centres, system administrators, etc. A role object is particularly useful since often a person performing a role may change; however the role itself remains. The "nic-hdl:" attributes of the person and role classes share the same name space. Once the object is created, the value of the "role:" attribute cannot be changed.
