Hi All,
  I've got a client who has a large database of clubs around the UK. 
They want to have a club locator pretty much the same as ASDAs store 
locator:-
http://www.asda.co.uk/corp/storelocator_frameset/storelocator_frameset.htm

Where you put in your town or postcode and it'll bring up the closest clubs.

I haven't done anything like this before, but I'm guessing there is some 
standard (ish) system that I get get to through Perl? Anyone have 
experience with this kind of thing, or know what I should be looking for?

A CPAN search has brought up 
http://search.cpan.org/~wross/Geo-Postcode-0.15/lib/Geo/Postcode.pm
But the more exact grid references I'm going to need to get the PAF from 
royal mail (over 2k per year), or possibly use an online system like 
http://www.alliescomputing.co.uk/ Web SOAP...

Hmm.. Maybe I should code a Web SOAP extension for Geo::Postcode?
