BW whois
BW whois is a modern whois client that works as a full-featured Web application or as a commandline tool. It is flexible and configurable with self-detecting CGI support, multiple security options in the CGI mode, a mature TLD table, database caching (using MySQL or PostgreSQL), and many more options and features.

Recent releases
- 09 Aug 2006 22:48
Changes: Multiple outgoing IP addresses are supported to help with whois servers that block based on queries per IP address. Support was added for PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL for database features. Support for mod_perl was improved, and support for non-standard whois servers (like whois.denic.de) was improved.
- 01 Aug 2003 19:03
Changes: This is a beta release of BW Whois 4.0. New features include normalized XML output, a modular output framework with an XML-based filter system for parsing different registrar whois formats, and new support for PostgreSQL (in addition to the existing MySQL support).
- 27 Jan 2003 18:39
Changes: This update fixes an incompatibility with the new .ORG registry's "thin" whois server. There are also a few other bugfixes and minor feature improvements.
- 11 Dec 2002 18:13
Changes: A logging feature was added. This is useful, especially in a multi-user or public configuration, to keep track of how many requests you are sending to downstream whois servers. A couple of small bugfixes were also made, and the documentation was cleaned up so it prints nicer.
- 29 Jul 2002 01:48
Changes: This version adds separate output for "not found" domains, along with a few more bugfixes, updates to the "stripdisclaimer" configuration file, and a few syntax modifications to appease Perl 5.8.

Works perfectly. I'd even go as far as saying this whois client should replace the "standard" that's used in most distributions. :)

This program works well, and automatically helps to compensate for problems with the new whois system.
I give it a thumbs up, and send thanks the author.
