         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_"

         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
           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_"

         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
