Oh Great Ones,

I'm trying to extract the network handle from a whois query. Here is the results of doing a whois query with the ip of 216.68.40.234: 
[whois.arin.net]
Fuse Internet Access (NETBLK-FUSE-NET-BLK-1) FUSE-NET-BLK-1
                                                   216.68.0.0 - 216.68
+.255.255
Fuse Modem Ports (NETBLK-FUSE-216-68-32-0) FUSE-216-68-32-0
                                                   216.68.32.0 - 216.6
+8.47.255
 
To single out one record, look it up with "!xxx", where xxx is the
handle, shown in parenthesis following the name, which comes first.

The little piece of code below obtains the network handle (anything within the parentheses) which works, but it only matches the first handle. What is the best way to match the second handle also? I thought maybe the /g modifier would work, but it doesn't (well, at least the way I have it). I plan on using this in a larger script to perform a whois query by the second handle.

Thanks,
Dru 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
use strict;
 
my $arin="/usr/bin/whois -h whois.arin.net";
 
my $ip = "216.68.40.234";
 
my $result =  `$arin $ip`;
 
if ($result =~ m/xxx/){ 
   $result =~ m/\((.*?)\)/g;
  print "The handle is: $1\n"; 
  print "The 2nd handle is: $2\n";
}
