.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\f(CW\*(C`WWW::CNIC::NG\*(C'\fR provides a simpler and more consistent interface to the
\&\f(CW\*(C`WWW::CNIC\*(C'\fR module. It allows you to reuse the same object for multiple
\&\s-1API\s0 calls, and provides Toolkit commands as methods of the object.
.SH "Executing Toolkit Commands"
.IX Header "Executing Toolkit Commands"
If you have used \f(CW\*(C`WWW:CNic\*(C'\fR you will be familiar with using it like so:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&        my $query = WWW::CNic\->new(
\&                \*(Aqcommand\*(Aq       => \*(Aqwhois\*(Aq,
\&                \*(Aqusername\*(Aq      => \*(AqH12345\*(Aq,
\&                \*(Aqpassword\*(Aq      => \*(Aqpassword\*(Aq,
\&                \*(Aqdomain\*(Aq        => \*(Aqexample.uk.com\*(Aq,
\&        );
\&
\&        $query\->set(%more_params);
\&
\&        # $response is a WWW::CNic::Response submodule:
\&        my $response = $query\->execute;
.Ve
.PP
This is somewhat cumbersome compared to the earlier example.
\&\f(CW\*(C`WWW::CNIC::NG\*(C'\fR serves to tidy up some of this mess.
.PP
Instead of specifying the desired command as a parameter supplied to the
constructor, you simply call the method you want to use on the
\&\f(CW\*(C`WWW::CNIC::NG\*(C'\fR object. The method's parameters are then used to
prepare a query, and the response from the server is returned from the
method.
