I'm in the process of finalizing the first (and of course incomplete) versions of two modules. I have a pause account (bluefeet), but want to double check with everyone that these namespaces are good for me to use for these modules.
Geo::Distance This will provide some core routines for checking the distance from one set of lon/lat to another. Geo::Distance::DBI This will use Geo::Distance routines against a DBI connection to find the closest locations to a set lon/lat. Uses some preliminary simplistic calculations to speed up search. These two modules together will be able to provide the functionality of the Geo::PostalCode module plus much more since it is much more generalized and can handle any type of lon/lat data and correlate them. This is my first time releasing modules and I am very very excited. I'm also looking forward to people criticisms/feedback/patches. Also, I will be putting together a site with pre-indexed mysql tables with zipcodes, counties, states, countries, etc. Sorry - for now the code will only be reliable in north america, but thats something that will be worked on. Any feedback appreciated. Aran
