I'm in the situation where I want to extract some whois data, live. I tested Net::Whois::Raw and Net::Whois::Parser and while the first returns all the results in a single big string (as raw in the namespace suggests) the latter parses the results and output a hash of scalars/arrays.

The problem is that Net::Whois::Parser does not returns all informations for all tld domains: for example .it domains return no nameservers fields because it happens to be a multiline record for all domain i tested.

Net::Whois::Parser by other hand provides a way to specify a custom parser for specific whois servers.

Let's say I need Domain status and Nameserver fields (but maybe more) there is a better universalistic way to get them parsed for every top level domains?

Due to my ignorance i ignore if for each tld there is only one whois server or one format for the data or if i can have multiple format for different, for example, .it domains (this will be a pain..).
