METHODS
new
$geocoder = Geo::Coder::US::Census->new();
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->env_proxy(1);
$geocoder = Geo::Coder::US::Census->new(ua => $ua);geocode
$location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location);
# @location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location);
print 'Latitude: ', $location->{'latt'}, "\n";
print 'Longitude: ', $location->{'longt'}, "\n";ua
Accessor method to get and set UserAgent object used internally. You can call env_proxy for example, to get the proxy information from environment variables:
$geocoder->ua()->env_proxy(1);You can also set your own User-Agent object:
$geocoder->ua(LWP::UserAgent::Throttled->new());reverse_geocode
# $location = $geocoder->reverse_geocode(latlng => '37.778907,-122.39732');# Similar to geocode except it expects a latitude/longitude parameter.
Not supported.
