        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
