Dear Monks,

use Geo::IP;
my $gi = Geo::IP->open("/somedirectory/dat/GeoIP.dat");
my $record = $gi->record_by_addr('103.2.106.33');
print $record->country_code,
      $record->country_code3,
      $record->country_name,
      $record->region,
      $record->region_name,
      $record->city,
      $record->postal_code,
      $record->latitude,
      $record->longitude,
      $record->time_zone,
      $record->area_code,
      $record->continent_code,
      $record->metro_code;

The output I got from the above (based on the code at https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo::IP) is:

-180.0000-180.00000--0

I was expecting to see a country name in the print outputs...

Am I missing something here?

Also, the GeoIP.dat file is no longer available at Maxmind) so I'm using a previous version. How or where do I get the new dat format?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
