Greetings @CountZero, and thank you for your continued efforts.
Well, I see what the problem has been. Using the advice listed within this thread -- including my own thoughts, have all returned the POSTed data as $domain=blah..., instead of turning $domain into blah... -- which was what the title suggested ;).
So. I think the best idea will be to abandon the use of NET::DNS::*, and simply slurp the form input data, and pass it to my system via a:
read(STDIN,$temp,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});.
This worked quite well for my whois script, and I was able to easily sanitize the input by filtering $temp before handing it off to the system itself.
Thanks again, to you, and everyone else who attempted to help me solve this problem.
Perhaps this dialog will help others who fall into this dilemna. :)
