Abbreviated output when attempting to do whois via scriptby jerrygarciuh (Curate) |

jerrygarciuh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Fellow Monks, I am attempting to track the redemption period status of a client's domain via a script. Initially I used Net::Whois but it produced a "No Match" response (due to the redemption period status at InterNIC I believe). Because I know running a whois from the commandline is producing the output I want I changed to simply capturing the output via backticks my $output = `whois somewebsite.com`;. This produces the following: [Querying whois.internic.net] [Redirected to whois.OnlineNIC.com] [Querying whois.OnlineNIC.com] [whois.OnlineNIC.com] My question is why the output is abbreviated when I know the commandline output holds what I need. I thought I was capturing all of the command output with the back ticks. Any advice greatly appreciated. jg
