Hi,

I have a "links directory", and I'm trying to update the records with as much "proper" data as possible. I've tried using Net::Whois, but that doesn't seem to work. Now, what I need - is a variable or something returned like:

$ref->{administrator}->{phone} .. or something like that.

I've got it working with some domain types (but cos it changes so much between WHOIS records, this doesn't work on a ton of domains - so at the moment, is pretty useless :()

The code I have at the moment is: 

          my $dominfo = `whois $_`;  #whois('perl.com');

          my ($name,$email,$phone);

        #  print qq|WHOIS:  <pre>$dominfo</pre>|;

          my @split = split /\n/, $dominfo;
          foreach (@split) {
            s/^(\t+|\s+)//sig;
            s/\s+/ /sig;
            if (($_ =~ /^Name:(.*)/ || $_ =~ /^Registrant Name:(.*)/) 
+&& !$name) { 
        #       print "NAME IS: $1 \n";
               $name = $1; 
               $name =~ s/^\s+//;
               next;
            }
            if (($_ =~ /^Email Address:(.*)/ || $_ =~ /^Registrant Ema
+il:(.*)/) && !$email) { 
        #       print "NAME IS: $1 \n";
               $email = lc($1); 
               $email =~ s/^\s+//;
               next;
            }

            if (($_ =~ /^Phone Number:(.*)/ || $_ =~ /^Registrant Phon
+e:(.*)/) && !$phone) { 
        #       print "PHONE IS: $1 \n";
               $phone = $1; 
               $phone =~ s/^\s+//;
               next;
            }
          }

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears :)
