This is the old MaxMind perl package with an obsolete IP to country database.

The IP-> country code database on net/p5-IP-Country is very outdated.

There is a newer one here:
https://mailfud.org/ip-country-fast/

They update about once a month.

https://mailfud.org/ip-country-fast/ip.gif

The file size differences :
Base ones:
$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/IP/Country/Fast
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel    765 May 16  2013 cc.gif
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 515228 May 16  2013 ip.gif

Newer ones are:
-rw-r--r--  1 thogard thogard    762 May 21 23:20 cc.gif
-rw-r--r--  1 thogard thogard 970761 May 21 23:20 ip.gif

Is there anyway include those files or perhaps have a p5-IP-Country-mailfud pkg
that has just those two files (and a patch for the man saying mailfud data
maybe) if there is a problem of mixing MaxMind's old data with mailfud's?

There are similar files for IP::Country::DB_File and

Tools useful for testing are the ip2cc program in the package and host -t txt
1.2.3.4.ipasn.net which is a service by APNIC that goes to the ARIN databases. 
It uses route RPKI data on the ASN routing tables as a data source.

Thanks,
