Message-ID: <20050211035238.GQ26163@daedalus.andrew.net.au> Howdy, I feel like doing some spam analysis, and I want to look up the AS numbers of spam sources by whois query to whois.ra.net So I'm after a whois module that will allow querying this server, and present the results in a vaguely parseable manner. Any suggestions on which of the myriad of whois related modules on CPAN is worth a look? regards Andrew -- linux.conf.au 2005 - http://linux.conf.au/ - Birthplace of Tux April 18th to 23rd - http://linux.conf.au/ - LINUX Canberra, Australia - http://linux.conf.au/ - Get bitten!

My home location is Los Angeles, where I try and keep LA.PM running, in between keeping perl.org running, and my day job programming and managing a team of programmers. I'd love to meet you for dinner, and would be happy to give a technical talk on something or other[3], schedule permitting (I'm also soliciting advice for "things to see/do" and "moderately priced hotels in good locations" to stay at.) -R Footnotes: [1] I'm still figuring out my itinerary. Right now only Sydney is locked down. [2] http://www.bestpractical.com/services/training.html is the catalyst for my trip. Although really, it's just a great excuse to take a vacation down under. And now for the cheap plug - there are still a few seats available, so if you're interested in attending, drop the email address on the page a note. [3] I don't have the list prepared at the moment, but I do have a interesting selection to choose from.
