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. - - (This features were contributed by Walery Studennikov despair@sama.ru) - -AUTHOR - Original author Ariel Brosh, schop@cpan.org, Inspired by jwhois.pl - available on the net. - - Since Ariel has passed away in September 2002: - - Past maintainers Gabor Szabo, gabor@perl.org.il, Corris Randall - corris@cpan.org - - Current Maintainer: Walery Studennikov despair@cpan.org - -CREDITS - Fixed regular expression to match hyphens. (Peter Chow, - peter@interq.or.jp) - - Added support for Tonga TLD. (.to) (Peter Chow, peter@interq.or.jp) - - Added support for reverse lookup of IP addresses via the ARIN registry. - (Alex Withers awithers@gonzaga.edu) - - This will work now for RIPE addresses as well, according to a - redirection from ARIN. (Philip Hands phil@uk.alcove.com, Trevor Peirce - trev@digitalcon.ca) - - Added the pattern matching switches, (Walery Studennikov - despair@sama.ru) - - Modified pattern matching, added cache. (Tony L. Svanstrom - tony@svanstrom.org) - -CHANGES - See file "Changes" in the distribution - -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. - -COPYRIGHT - Copyright 2000-2002 Ariel Brosh.
