+NAME
+    Net::Whois::Raw - Perl extension for unparsed raw whois information
+
+SYNOPSIS
+      use Net::Whois::Raw qw( whois );
+  
+      $s = whois('perl.com');
+      $s = whois('funet.fi');
+      $s = whois('yahoo.co.uk');
+
+            ### if you do "use Net::Whois::Raw qw( whois $OMIT_MSG $CHECK_FAIL 
+            ###              $CACHE_DIR $CACHE_TIME $USE_CNAMES $TIMEOUT );
+            ### you can use these:
+
+      $OMIT_MSG = 1; # This will attempt to strip several known copyright
+                    messages and disclaimers sorted by servers.
+                    Default is to give the whole response.
+
+      $OMIT_MSG = 2; # This will try some additional stripping rules
+                    if none are known for the spcific server.
+
+      $CHECK_FAIL = 1; # This will return undef if the response matches
+                    one of the known patterns for a failed search,
+                    sorted by servers.
+                    Default is to give the textual response.
+
+      $CHECK_FAIL = 2; # This will match against several more rules
+                    if none are known for the specific server.
+
+      $CACHE_DIR = "/var/spool/pwhois/"; # Whois information will be
+                    cached in this directory. Default is no cache.
+
+      $CACHE_TIME = 24; # Cache files will be cleared after not accessed
+                    for a specific number of hours. Documents will not be
+                    cleared if they keep get requested for, independent
+                    of disk space. Default is not to clear the cache.
+
+      $USE_CNAMES = 1; # Use whois-servers.net to get the whois server
+                    name when possible. Default is to use the 
+                    hardcoded defaults.
+
+      $TIMEOUT = 10; # Cancel the request if connection is not made within
+                    a specific number of seconds.
+
+      Note: as of version 0.21, extra data will be loaded only if the
+      OMIT_MSG or CHECK_FAIL flags were used, in order to reduce memory usage.
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    Net::Whois::Raw queries NetworkSolutions and follows the Registrar:
+    answer for ORG, EDU, COM and NET domains. For other TLDs it uses the
+    whois-servers.net namespace. ($TLD.whois-servers.net).
+
+    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.

+
+CLARIFICATION
+    As NetworkSolutions got most of the domains of InterNic as legacy, we
+    start by querying their server, as this way one whois query would be
+    sufficient for many domains. Starting at whois.internic.net or
+    whois.crsnic.net will result in always two requests in any case.
+
+NOTE
+    Some users complained that the die statements in the module make their
+    CGI scripts crash. Please consult the entries on eval and die on
+    perlfunc about exception handling in Perl.

+LEGAL
+    Notice that registrars forbid querying their whois servers as a part of
+    a search engine, or querying for a lot of domains by script. Also,
+    omitting the copyright information (that was requested by users of this
+    module) is forbidden by the registrars.
