Whois3pm
Perl extension to make queries to the whois servers
Usage
use Whois;$whois = new Whois('Host' => 'whois.ripe.net');die("Failed to create object") unless(ref($whois));die($whois->GetError()) if($whois->GetError());if($whois->Query("BAT-RIPE")) {printf("Query error: %s\n", $whois->GetError());exit;}my $result = $whois->GetResult();if($result) {print "$result\n";}else {printf("No results: %s\n", $whois->GetError());}$whois->Close();
Overview
Stub documentation for Whois was created by h2xs. It looks like the author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub unedited.
Blah blah blah.
