+The Net::XWhois class provides a generic client framework for doing Whois
+queries and parsing server response.
+
+One of the more important features of this module is to enable the design of
+consistent and predictable interfaces to incompatible whois response formats.
+The Whois RFC (954) does not define a template for presenting server data;
+consequently there is a large variation in layout styles as well as content
+served across servers.
