Hello,
There is nothing wrong in your perl program. The problem is that not all
nic servers produce the same output. The line with "created on" exists
for some names only, not all. I tried yahoo.com which had it and
netscape.com which didn't have it. So, you should figure out a better
way to get your data.
Hope this helps,,,
Aziz,,,
