use Net::Domain::TLD qw(tlds tld_exists);

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

tlds

            

              
              
This routine returns the tlds requested.
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
  ccidn              - internationalized country code top-level domain 
  gtld_open          - generic domains that anyone can register
  gtld_restricted    - generic restricted registration domains
  gtld_new           - new gTLDs
  new_open           - recently added generic domains
  new_restricted     - new restricted registration domains
  reserved           - RFC2606 restricted names, not returned by tlds
            
          

tld_exists

            

              
              
This routine returns true if the given domain exists and false otherwise.
die "no such domain" unless tld_exists($tld); #call without tld type 
die "no such domain" unless tld_exists($tld, 'new_open'); #call with tld type
