NAME

Geo::Shapefile::Writer - simple pureperl shapefile writer

VERSION

version 0.002

DESCRIPTION

Geo::Shapelib is cool, but not portable. So here is alternative, if you need just simple shp export.

METHODS

new

    my $shp_writer = Geo::Shapefile::Writer->new( $name, $type, @attr_descriptions );

Defaults will be used if field is not completely described

    $shp_writer->add_shape( $object, @attributes );

Attributes are array or arrayref or hashref

finalize

    $shp_writer->finalize();

Update global fields, close files
