Net::Whois::Raw queries WHOIS servers about domains. The module supports
recursive WHOIS queries. Also queries via HTTP is supported for some TLDs.
Setting the variables $OMIT_MSG and $CHECK_FAIL will match the results
against a set of known patterns. The first flag will try to omit the
copyright message/disclaimer, the second will attempt to determine if the
search failed and return undef in such a case.
*IMPORTANT*: these checks merely use pattern matching; they will work on
several servers but certainly not on all of them.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
Net::Whois::Raw versions before 2.99044 for Perl ship a pwhois command-line tool that queries WHOIS for the wrong domain for unicode domain names.
pwhois encodes each non-ASCII label directly using N
