So now I am baffled. This does indeed work:
perl -le'print `whois friendsofjabu.com`'
So what am I doing wrong here? Why does this get only the abbreviated output?
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser /; use CGI qw/:standard/; use CGI::Pretty qw/ :html3 /; my $dom = "friendsofjabu.com"; my $q = CGI->new(); print $q->header,start_html, '<pre>'; print my $output = `whois $dom` . '</pre>';
BTW when I use this code to lookup a domain which is NOT in the redemption period, I have just found that it works fine.
Any thoughts?
TIA
