there are some perl modules to do that. they probably won't do the whole parsing job, but they will provide functions to do the lookups for you. the debian packages are: libnet-whois-perl Perl Module providing an API to access InterNIC whois database libnet-whois-raw-perl Perl Module providing an API to access whois database i've never used these modules, just seen them in the debian package listing...i know nothing more than that they exist. note that there is no consistent output format between whois servers. this makes whois basically useless as a source of data. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
