Do you know what the difference is between this module and MaxMind's
official Perl library, MaxMind::DB::Reader, packaged in Debian as
libmaxmind-db-reader-perl and libmaxmind-db-reader-xs-perl?

(I am the libmaxminddb maintainer and asking purely out of interest
given my involvement with the MaxMind DB stack.)

Best,
