It doesn't work on my Win7 machine.
It gives:
Error: None of the following supported coordinate standards are configured.
- Environment variable COORDINATES_WGS84_LON_LAT_HAE
- Filesystem /etc/local.coordiantes file
at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Geo/Local/Server.pm line 98.
Let me know how well it works on you box.

Well now there is! I put a package together called Geo::Local::Server
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Geo%3A%3ALocal%3A%3AServer.
It implements two different standards to configure the location of the
local server. One is via an environment variable and one is via the
file in /etc/local.coordinates. It should support Windows platforms too.
Check it out. I've added the is_nighttime/is_daytime scripts that I
needed to the distro too.
Now, I guess, I should to turn this into an RFC somehow. Anyone ever
done that?
Comments welcome.
Thanks,
Mike
