This software provides object-oriented retrieval of geocoding information based on internet protocol. It streamlines the process for users to locate and retrieve location-based data with improved accuracy and efficiency.
Next, the CGI header is printed, and the latitude and longitude coordinates are obtained. If the IP parameter is present, the corresponding coordinates are retrieved, otherwise, the coordinates of the remote address are obtained. If the latitude and longitude values are defined, a Google Map is displayed with specific control features. In case the coordinates are undefined, an error message is printed.
Geo::Coder::HostIP is specifically designed to utilize the HostIP API, which is documented on their website. Although the software is primarily designed for web-related activities, it can also be used for other purposes. For instance, it can be employed to determine whether most visitors to a Spanish-language webpage are from Spain or Mexico to choose the appropriate terminology to be used.
In conclusion, Geo::Coder::HostIP is a useful software tool to retrieve geocoding information and customize web content for location-specific audiences.
