perl-Net-Whois-Raw

Get Whois information of domains and IP addresses

Net::Whois::Raw queries WHOIS servers about domains. The module supports recursive WHOIS queries. Also queries via HTTP is supported for some TLDs. Setting the variables $OMIT_MSG and $CHECK_FAIL will match the results against a set of known patterns. The first flag will try to omit the copyright message/disclaimer, the second will attempt to determine if the search failed and return undef in such a case. *IMPORTANT*: these checks merely use pattern matching; they will work on several servers but certainly not on all of them.
