+-------+-------------------------+CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor expects the following keys. Only the 'api_key' is mandatory and others are optionals.
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| Parameter | Description |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| api_key | Your application API key. You should supply a valid API key |
| | with all requests. Get a key from the Google APIs console. |
| | This must be provided. |
| sensor | Indicates whether or not the Place request came from a device |
| | using a location sensor (e.g. a GPS) to determine the location|
| | sent in this request. This value must be either true or false.|
| | Default is false. |
| language | The language code, indicating in which language the results |
| | should be returned. The default is en. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
use strict; use warnings;
use WWW::Google::Places;
my $api_key = 'Your_API_Key';
my $place = WWW::Google::Places->new({ api_key => $api_key });METHODS
search(\%params)
It expects a ref to hash as the only parameter containing the following keys. It returns list of objects of type WWW::Google::Places::SearchResult in a LIST context and ref to the same list in a SCALAR context.
+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Key | Description |
+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| location | The latitude/longitude around which to retrieve Place |
| | information. This must be provided as a google.maps.LatLng |
| | object. This must be provided. |
| radius | The distance (in meters) within which to return Place results. |
| | The recommended best practice is to set radius based on the |
| | accuracy of the location signal as given by the location |
| | sensor. Note that setting a radius biases result to the |
| | indicated area, but may not fully restrict results to the |
| | specified area. This must be provided. |
| types | Restricts the results to Places matching at least one of the |
| | specified types. Types should be separated with a pipe symbol. |
| name | A term to be matched against the names of Places. |

my $results = $place->search({ location=>'-33.8670522,151.1957362', radius=>500 });paged_search(\%params)
Accepts the same values as search(\%params) but handles queries that have multiple pages worth of data. Using paged_search the max number of results is 60 (or 3 pages worth) https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search#PlaceSearchRequests
It returns list of objects of type WWW::Google::Places::SearchResult in a LIST context and ref to a list in a SCALAR context.
NOTE:Due to the way that Google handles the paging of results there is a required sleep of 2 seconds between each requests so that the Google pageTokens can become active.

{ location => '34.0522222,-118.2427778',
radius => 500,
types => 'bar|restaurant',
});details($place_id)
Expects place id, a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place, returned from a Place Search. It then returns an object of type WWW::Google::Places::DetailResult.
