Thanks Shawn,
I took a quick look at MaxMind services (http://www.maxmind.com/app/api
) as you suggested.
I also found some alternatives from this page
http://mapki.com/wiki/Map_Projects:Web_Visitors
found this (most interesting)
http://system-x.info/index.php?pageid=-1000
and this (pseudo-commercial service)
http://www.gvisit.com/
Getting closer... thanks!

Hi list,
I think this was discussed recently, but Geowanking archives prior to
August can't be browsed! "The requested URL
/pipermail/geowanking/2006-July/subject.html was not found on this
server."
What's the simplest way to get lat-lon value from IP addresses? A
friend of mine is using Geo::IP
(http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/Geo-IP-1.27/lib/Geo/IP.pm), but he
tells me it doesn't work quite well. If it matters, most of his code
is in perl.
I found http://www.hostip.info/ and
http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm with Google, but wanted advices
before going deeper.
Thanks :-)

Last time I looked into geoip, the public data that Geo::IP used was out
of date (it even had a warning on the page that it wasn't being updated
anymore). So I tried playing around with MaxMind's services.
They do offer a free dataset, but it is not as accurate as their fee
based data.
I did some messing around with it just for kicks...
