hi Tom, sorry, my mistake, I'll repost it to the list. Geo::IP is a perl interface to the free available version of maxmind's geo-ip database. From the manpage: > This free database is similar to the database contained in IP::Country, > as well as many paid databases.

In any case, I think an interface to a tiny program running locally in another language (perl) would be better than an interface to another program running remotely in another language! and it would run probably at least 100x faster. > See my last paragraph above for something that could usefully be done if > you wanted. ok great I'll have a go at doing that, and I'll try a local geo-ip database. thanks! regards, Sam _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
