…n-denied warning When an IP is not in LACNIC's registry (% Not assigned to LACNIC) or the query is rate-limited, the module previously returned permission => 'denied'. This caused whois_query() to emit a misleading "permission denied at lacnic server" warning before falling through to the next source. Now these two cases return an empty hash (like the existing "non-lacnic resource" path), causing silent fallthrough to the next registry in the round-robin — which is the correct behavior since the IP simply belongs elsewhere. Actual access control errors (%201, % Permission denied) still return permission => 'denied' with the appropriate warning.

What
LACNIC's "% Not assigned to LACNIC" and rate-limit responses now cause
silent fallthrough to the next registry, instead of emitting a misleading
"permission denied" warning.
Why
When querying an IP that doesn't belong to LACNIC (e.g., an ARIN IP being
round-robined), the module previously logged:
This is confusing because nothing was actually denied — the IP simply
belongs to a different RIR. The same applies to rate-limit responses,
which are transient errors unrelated to permissions.
How
Split the single
close && return (permission => 'denied')condition inlacnic_read_queryinto two paths:%201,% Permission denied): still returnpermission => 'denied'→ triggers the existing warning inwhois_query% Not assigned to LACNIC, rate limit):return
()→whois_querysilently moves to the next source (samebehavior as the existing
% <RIR> resource:path)Testing
Updated
t/09-read-query.tto verify the new behavior. Full offlinetest suite passes.
