The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Geography::Countries::LatLong DSLIP: Rdpnp description: List of mean latidue and longitude userid: LGODDARD (Lee Goddard) chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules) communities: Announce to go on comp.lang.perl.modules
similar: None. rationale: Geography::Countries::LatLong provides mean latitude and longitude for almost all countries in the world. This compliments the Geography::Countries module, which provides decoding of country names, and the Geo::IPfree module, which provides non-commercial look-up of IP name to country name. When combined with this module, and my Image::Maps::Plot::FromLatLong module, it becomes possible to ... use perl to plot IP address on a map! What FUN!! The more publicity this gets, the less poor people will have to hand over hard-earned dosh to the Geo::IP company - who claim Geo::IP::Records works for free to supply lat/long, and doesn't. Instead it supplies random strings which change depending on the size of the code accessing them (apparently): requests for support result in requests for money --- not very perl, not very CPAN. This module attempts to correct the error. enteredby: LGODDARD (Lee Goddard) enteredon: Tue Feb 25 10:44:16 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: Geography::Countries:: ::LatLong Rdpnp List of mean latidue and longitude LGODDARD Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=52300000_a37ea1c9900d32d6&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=52300000_a37ea1c9900d32d6&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
