I have been asked to QUIKLY put some content together for my U.S. company's foreign travel portal. What I need to do is to ask a user where they are travelling to and based on their input (e.g. "Moscow, Russia") I need to present them with some relevant travel-related information such as:
- airport codes
- weather
- U.S. Consulates/Embassies
- currency conversion
- hotels
- per-diem rates
- city guides
- other relevant traveler information about the destination
Are there any Perl modules that can help me to lookup this information based on a city/country combination?
I have been trawling around for xml/rss feeds for hours to no avail. My first thought was to plug into the Google API although I can't think of a way to pull in say relevant currency rates based on the city/country string.
Thanks for your help and a Happy New Year to all!

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).
