## lookup

     $machine = Net::Netrc->lookup(host[, login])

Constructor. Looks up and returns a reference to the entry for the specified host machine, host. Without the optional login argument, `lookup` returns the first entry in the .netrc file for the machine.

If there is no matching entry, `lookup` returns a reference to the `default` entry.
