Well, I gave you some pros and cons, but they focused on meta-issues rather than on the actual functionality of the two packages. I personally think it's easier to maintain a Perl script than a compiled program, and I don't consider the ability to run in a "stripped down cygwin" is terribly important, but I can see that other people might, which is why I dropped the argument :-). I doubt the functionality of bw-whois is so different from the GNU package you mentioned that it makes much of a difference which one you choose. So if you're willing to do the work, and you'd rather maintain the GNU version, I think you should go for it. jik
