I'm Coding the following for xchat with the perl plug-in 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Geo::IP;
use strict;
Xchat::register( "Whois Addon", "0.5", "A Geop and ip resolver for irc
+op's for the whois command", "" );    
Xchat::hook_server('378', \&parse_line);
my $servertabname = "Station51";
sub parse_line {
 my ($line);
      $line = shift (@_);
Xchat::print("test1",,$servertabname);
      if ($line =~ m/:.+\@.+\s([0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-
+9]{1,3})/){
Xchat::print("test2",,$servertabname);
         my $ip = $1 ;
Xchat::print("Is From ".countryname($ip)."",,$servertabname);
}
Xchat::print("test3",,$servertabname);
}

sub countryname{
my ($ip) =@_ ;
my $gi = Geo::IP->open("/home/m/Desktop/Test Stuff/GeoIP.dat", GEOIP_S
+TANDARD);
return $gi->country_name_by_addr($ip);
}
