Is there a perl module someone is updating to take care of all these little changes? The Net:Whois I found on on cpan doesn't cover some of the odd ball cases where you are required to do a second who is based on the domain handle. Thanks.
This isn't strictly network related, but...
The format of the WHOIS responses changed, which broke a script of mine.
Actually, there are some queries that can *never* work. For instance, try doing a whois on netauthority.com, you will find that the handle for that domain is never returned. Thus you can never actually do a whois on that domain. Pretty bogus huh? -joe On Fri, 14 May 1999 16:46:43 -0700 (PDT), Sanjay Dani <sanjay@professionals.com> wrote:

whois netauthority2-dom whenever i'm confronted with a "list of domains" instead of what i want, i just blindly search upwards from foo-dom, foo1-dom, foo2-dom, and so on. this usually works. except for ag-dom1: antigua. sure, it's dumb. but it works. -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior@daemon.org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet@graffiti.com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew@crossbar.com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
