In another place, I recently offered to write a whois++ server.
This was going to be in Perl & using dbm as the database engine!
Since Rickard has beaten me to it I'm thinking about keeping
Perl & using WAIS instead of dbm.

Before I do any work on it, is anyone else working with this
combination !?!? ;-)
