Geo::Coder::US::Census - Provides a Geo-Coding functionality for the US using https://geocoding.geo.census.gov
Version 0.04
use Geo::Coder::US::Census; my $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::US::Census->new(); my $location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => '4600 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD'); # Sometimes the server gives a 500 error on this $location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => '4600 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD, USA');
Geo::Coder::US::Census provides an interface to geocoding.geo.census.gov. Geo::Coder::US no longer seems to work.
$geo_coder = Geo::Coder::US::Census->new(); my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); $ua->env_proxy(1); $geo_coder = Geo::Coder::US::Census->new(ua => $ua);
$location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => $location); # @location = $geo_coder->geocode(location => $location); print 'Latitude: ', $location->{'latt'}, "\n"; print 'Longitude: ', $location->{'longt'}, "\n";
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:
$geo_coder->ua(LWP::UserAgent::Throttled->new());
# $location = $geo_coder->reverse_geocode(latlng => '37.778907,-122.39732');
# Similar to geocode except it expects a latitude/longitude parameter.
Not supported.
You can also run this module from the command line:
perl Census.pm 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC

Should be called Geo::Coder::NA for North America.
