I'm working on a project to map home addresses, for a pedestrian/walking
purpose.    This works great until I run into a Post Office box. My
choices are to give up, punt to the zip code centroid, or guess.  And my
guess is that most PO Box holders live close to the Post Office
(possibly even within walking distance).

So: how can I get a list of post office addresses?  It's getting a bit
tedious to enter them all by hand:

my %po_box_locations = (
    "94702" => "2900 Sacramento St, Berkeley, CA 94702",
    "94703" => "3175 Adeline St, Berkeley, CA 94703",
    "94704" => "2070 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94704",
    "94705" => "2705 Webster St, Berkeley, CA 94705",
    "94709" => "1521 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94709",
    "94608" => "1585 62nd St, Emeryville, CA 94608",
    "94609" => "4900 Shattuck Ave, Oakland, CA 94609",
);

I've searched on the USPS site and called them, but come up dry.  Any
idea where I can find such a database,
short of a screen scrape of the USPS site?
