NAME
Geo::OSM::MapFeatures - Parses and represents OpenStreetMap Map Features
VERSION
Version 0.10
SYNOPSIS
use Geo::OSM::MapFeatures;
my $mf = new Geo::OSM::MapFeatures;
$mf->download();
$mf->parse();
# To print a simple ascii representation:
foreach my $category ( sort( $mf->categories() ) ){
print "\n\n===== $category =====\n";
foreach my $feature ( $mf->features($category) ){
print "$feature\n";
}
}
# Or you can choose not to use the string overloading and get the
# individual elements yourself:
foreach my $category ( sort( $mf->categories() ) ){
print "\n\n===== $category =====\n";
foreach my $feature ( $mf->features($category) ){
print "Key: ".$feature->key()."\n";
print "Value(s): ". join("\n ", @{$feature->values()})."\n";
print "Description: ".$feature->description()."\n\n";
}
}
FUNCTIONS
new (constructor)
Create a new instance of this class. Pass parameters as a hashref.

Returns: undef
debug_download
Download and cache in "mapfeatures.debug" in the current directory, to avoid downloading the page again and again when developing.
For example do something like the following:
unless( $ENV{MAPFEATURESDEBUG} ){
$mf->download();
} else {
$mf->debug_download();
}
parse
Parses map features.
categories
Returns a list of feature categories.
features

If given an argument it as taken as a category, and only features in that category will be returned.

BUGS
Categories are currently made by concatenating headings above a feature. This should probably be a proper hierarchy instead.
The table header translation table should probably be easier to patch from programs calling the module. Or maybe even downloaded from the wiki or something.
