Yes Maxmind requires manual updates, it's no surprise. 99% of things like this
needs manual updates, have you seen a Perl module or such that updates itself
without intervention? But Maxmind provides more accurate and easily available
files. It's much more likely that people have already installed geoip libraries
than IP::Country::Fast, it's not even packaged for debian.

What part of IP::Country::Fast do you consider fairly straightforward?

- The build process that takes 1-2GB of memory and 15+ minutes on 3GHz AMD
- Downloading hundreds of MBs of ripe data for it
- Assuming that your newly created database isn't overwritten by something
(it's in the Perl library path)
