Take a look at Net::Whois
(http://cpan2.org/Asset/display?dist=Net-Whois). Here is an example:
bash$ perl -MData::Dumper -MNet::Whois
my $d = Net::Whois::Domain->new('perl.org');
print Dumper($d);
^D
$VAR1 = bless( [
{
"CONTACTS" => {
"ADMINISTRATIVE" => [
"Hockenhull, Benjamin R (BRH11) benh\@WEBSTER.EDU",
"Webster University",
"470 E Lockwood",
"St. Louis, MO 63119",
"314-961-2660 Ext 7643 (FAX) 314-968-7112"
],
"BILLING" => [

"New York, NY 10001",

],
"TECHNICAL" => []
},
"ADDRESS" => [

}
], 'Net::Whois::Domain' );
$VAR1->[0]{"CONTACTS"}{"TECHNICAL"} = $VAR1->[0]{"CONTACTS"}{"ADMINISTRATIVE"};
Here is a non-existant example:
bash$ perl -MData::Dumper -MNet::Whois
my $d = Net::Whois::Domain->new('ss.com');
print Dumper($d);
^D
$VAR1 = bless( [
{}
], 'Net::Whois::Domain' );
You should be able to get something working based on this.
