Anyone know a decent whois module for ActivePerl 5.6.1 (win32)?

[quatto@hotmail.com]

Net::Whois doesnt match any domains..
Net::ParseWhois returns 'n/a' for most of the whois data..
Net::Whois::Raw is not available for ActivePerl AFAIK
([url]http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.6-N.html[/url])

Could someone please give me some ideas? I thought of socket
programming but it's bettter to ask before jumping in the deep end, oh
and I already know about the binary whois.exe cygwin port, it's just
that it sometimes fails without a return status or hangs.. the kind of
thing I wish to avoid.

This is basically for a batch of names I wanna grab the name servers
for and sort etc..

Thanks for your time Guys and Guru's!
