I didn't really look into xwhois module past just installing it.
I figured I would end up ITP'ing a libnet-xwhois-perl package to
satisy the dependency, but I didn't think it would be much of a
problem.  It is slightly unnerving that the author appears to use
root as his primary login and that the changelog shows he likes
blank cvs commits...  What did you find particularly troubling
when you looked at the code?
