I have a 3600 line ad-hoc perl module that parses output from most of
the com/net registrars. all of the thick registries that use the more
or less standard syntax in the ICANN agreements, and a handful of
other ccTLDs that publish something interesting in whois.

It's a bit long to paste in here, but ask and I'll send it to you.

I have an RDAP parser, too, but at the moment it's only looking at RIR address info.

R's,
John
