[dns-operations] whois no longer follows thin registry referral?

[Doug Barton]

I'm putting the finishing touches on a Perl whois client module that 
solves this problem, and a bunch of others; with a command line client 
front end. The code is stable, but I haven't had a chance to write the 
docs yet. But this crowd could certainly handle it ...

I'm happy to put it up for review if there is interest.
