Fetch CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) information from cve.org

 use Net::CVE;

 my $cr = Net::CVE->new ();

 $cr->get ("CVE-2022-12345");
 my $full_report = $cr->data;
 my $summary     = $cr->summary;

 use Data::Peek;
 DDumper $cr->summary ("CVE-2022-12345");

perl version 5.14.2 and up. Very well possible, you will be able to use this with a previous version, but that is not officially supported.

Network access: the default operation mode is to fetch reports directly from the CVE database, but using downloaded reports in JSON is undocumented supported.

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
