Whois - Perl extension to make queries to the whois servers

  use Whois;
 
  $whois = new Whois('Host' => 'whois.ripe.net');
 
 die("Failed to create object") unless(ref($whois));
 
 die($whois->GetError()) if($whois->GetError());
 
 if($whois->Query("BAT-RIPE")) {
    printf("Query error: %s\n", $whois->GetError());
    exit;
 }
 
 my $result = $whois->GetResult();
 
 if($result) {
    print "$result\n";
 }
 else {
   printf("No results: %s\n", $whois->GetError());
 }
 
 $whois->Close();

Stub documentation for Whois was created by h2xs. It looks like the author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub unedited.

Blah blah blah.
