Hi -- I can get whois info for Yahoo here

http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=yahoo.com&SearchType=do,

but Net::ParseWhois can't find it: 
use Net::ParseWhois;
use Data::Dumper;
my $w = Net::ParseWhois::Domain->new('yahoo.com');
die unless $w;
die unless $w->ok;
print "Domain: ", $w->domain, "\n";    
print "Name: ", $w->name, "\n";    
print "Tag: ", $w->tag, "\n";    
print "Address:\n", map { "    $_\n"     } $w->address;
print "Country: ", $w->country, "\n";

Which on my machine generates 
Domain: n/a
Name: n/a
Tag: n/a
Address:
    n/a
Country: n/a

What's going on here? Is there a way to point the module at a more comprehensive whois server? Thanks

sigma
