The SYNOPSIS feature of WebService::CIA is straightforward and easy to understand. It features various modules such as WebService::CIA, WebService::CIA::Source::DBM, and WebService::CIA::Source::Web. Using the WebService::CIA module, you can get valuable information about countries.
For instance, if you want to get data from a pre-compiled DBM file, you can use "WebService::CIA::Source::DBM->new({ DBM => "factbook.dbm" });" to connect to the database. Then, you can use "WebService::CIA->new({ Source => $source });" to make the connection between the source and the CIA module. Finally, to get a fact about a specific country, use "get("uk", "Population")" and "print $fact;".
If you want to source data directly from the CIA World Factbook, you can use the "WebService::CIA::Source::Web->new();" module. The implementation details remain the same. You can still use the "WebService::CIA->new({ Source => $source });" line to connect to the source, and then use "get("uk", "Population")" and "print $fact;" to get the information.
All in all, WebService::CIA is a fantastic Perl module that can help you obtain valuable information from the CIA World Factbook about various countries. You can source data directly from the factbook or from a pre-compiled DBM file. The syntax is straightforward and easy to use, making it user-friendly for anyone using the module.
