I know there used to be a nice convenient set of RBL's based upon
countries, such that you could easily track an IP address back to
which country it came from.  But, IIRC, that RBL went under.

1) Does anyone know of a convenient command line tool (perl library
being ideal) that lets you give it an IP address, and it tells you the
country and/or continent (and that's it)?

2) similarly, does anyone know of a command line tool where you can
give it a country and/or continent, and it will generate concise IP
addresses ranges (like A.B.C.D-E.F.G.H) that have been allocated to
that country/continent? (and by "concise", I mean compacted into as
few range statements as possible, to minimize the number of lines)

(it's only slightly OT, because I plan to use this for fighting some
internal spam problems we've been having; but it wouldn't be part of
our spam assassin infrastructure)
