NAME

Geo::Coder::CA - Provides a Geo-Coding functionality using https://geocoder.ca for both Canada and the US.

VERSION

Version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

  use Geo::Coder::CA;

  my $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::CA->new();
  my $location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => '9235 Main St, Richibucto, New Brunswick, Canada');

DESCRIPTION

Geo::Coder::CA provides an interface to geocoder.ca. Geo::Coder::Canada no longer seems to work.

METHODS

new

$geo_coder = Geo::Coder::CA->new();
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->env_proxy(1);
$geo_coder = Geo::Coder::CA->new(ua => $ua);

geocode

$location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => $location);
# @location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => $location);

print 'Latitude: ', $location->{'latt'}, "\n";
print 'Longitude: ', $location->{'longt'}, "\n";

ua

Accessor method to get and set UserAgent object used internally. You can call env_proxy for example, to get the proxy information from environment variables:

$geo_coder->ua()->env_proxy(1);

You can also set your own User-Agent object:

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent::Throttled->new();
$ua->throttle('geocoder.ca' => 1);
$geo_coder->ua($ua);

reverse_geocode

$location = $geo_coder->reverse_geocode(latlng => '37.778907,-122.39732');

Similar to geocode except it expects a latitude/longitude parameter.

run

You can also run this module from the command line:

perl CA.pm 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC
