NAME

Geo::Coder::Abbreviations - Quick and Dirty Interface to https://github.com/mapbox/geocoder-abbreviations

VERSION

Version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

Provides an interface to https://github.com/mapbox/geocoder-abbreviations. One small function for now, I'll add others later.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Creates a Geo::Coder::Abbreviations object. It takes no arguments. If you have HTTP::Cache::Transparent installed it will load much faster, otherwise it will download the database from the Internet when the class is first instantiated.

abbreviate

Abbreviate a place.

    use Geo::Coder::Abbreviations;

    my $abbr = Geo::Coder::Abbreviations->new();
    print $abbr->abbreviate('Road'), "\n";      # prints 'RD'
    print $abbr->abbreviate('RD'), "\n";        # prints 'RD'

normalize

Normalize and abbreviate street names - useful for comparisons
