I am writing a small script to perfrom a 'whois' on number of domains. i however have a slight query.

When i run 'use Net::ParseWhois;'on a particular domain I get the following 
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
Domain: xxx
Name: xxx
Tag: xxx
Address: xxx
Country: xx
Name Servers: xx

Record created:n/a Record updated:n/a

Note that the final line in this code puts record created and updated as 'n/a' and there is no expiry date!!!

When i run use 'Net::Whois::Raw;' with the same domain i get all information above plus an expiry/created/ and updated date (as shown below). 
...Record expires on 25-Oct-2002. Record created on 24-Oct-1995. Datab

Can anybody tell me how to get the date information using the use Net::ParseWhois; module since it fetches me the results in a more managable form. Or are there any other suggestions?

thankyou
