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).
