               The purpose of this module is to provide user with current list of
               available top level domain names including new ICANN additions and ccTLDs
               Currently TLD definitions have been acquired from the following sources:

               http://www.icann.org/tlds/
               http://www.dnso.org/constituency/gtld/gtld.html
               http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm

               Each public function/method is described here.
               These are how you should interact with this module.

       _"_t_l_d_s_"

               my @all_tlds = tlds; #array of tlds
               my $all_tlds = tlds; #hashref of tlds and their descriptions

               my @cc_tlds = tlds('cc'); #array of just 'cc' type tlds
               my $cc_tlds = tlds('cc'); #hashref of just 'cc' type tlds and their descriptions

               Valid types are:
                       cc                 - country code domains
                       gtld_open          - generic domains that anyone can register
                       gtld_restricted    - generic restricted registration domains
                       new_open           - recently added generic domains
                       new_restricted     - new restricted registration domains

       _"_t_l_d___e_x_i_s_t_s_"

               die "no such domain" unless tld_exists($tld);
               die "no such domain" unless tld_exists($tld, 'cc');

               This routine returns true if the given domain exists and false if it does not.
