Thanks for the reply podmaster,

So now I am baffled. This does indeed work:

perl -le'print `whois friendsofjabu.com`'

So what am I doing wrong here? Why does this get only the abbreviated output?

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser /;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

use CGI::Pretty qw/ :html3 /;

my $dom = "friendsofjabu.com";

my $q = CGI->new();
print $q->header,start_html, '<pre>';

print my $output = `whois $dom` . '</pre>';

BTW when I use this code to lookup a domain which is NOT in the redemption period, I have just found that it works fine.

Any thoughts?

TIA

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
