Polpus,
Thanks for the info but the Cdomain script has so much more functionality. We really wanted the ability to search for domains other than TLDs as well as the TLDs which the Cdomain script could give us.

I did have knowledge of the PERL command for whois, but we were looking for something more powerful. Thank you for the suggestion though.

With a very little knowledge of perl, you can make your own whois script to fit your needs.

Perl has the command whois, that gets the information about the specified domain name.

Example:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$i = new CGI;
$domain = $i->param(domain);
$results = `whois $domain`;

print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
print qq~
<html>
<head><title>Results for $domain</title></head>

<body bgcolor="ffffff">
<h2>Results for $domain:</h2>
$results
</body>
</html>~;

Ok ... this should work (unless BT messes up the code)

Good luck!
