# NAME Locale::Places - Translate places using http://download.geonames.org/ # VERSION Version 0.06 # METHODS ## new Create a Locale::Places object. Takes one optional parameter, directory, which tells the object where to find the file GB.sql If that parameter isn't given, the module will attempt to find the databases, but that can't be guaranteed. Any other options are passed to the underlying database driver. ## translate Translate a city into a different language. Takes one mandatory argument: 'place'. It also takes two other arguments: 'from' and 'to', at least one of which must be given. If neither $to nor $from is given, the code makes a best guess based on the environment. If no translation can be found, returns place in the original language. use Locale::Places; # Prints "Douvres" print Locale::Places->new()->translate({ place => 'Dover', from => 'en', to => 'fr' }); # Prints "Douvres" if we're working on a French system print Locale::Places->new()->translate('Dover'); # AUTHOR Nigel Horne, `` # BUGS Only supports towns and cities in GB at the moment. # SEE ALSO # SUPPORT You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Locale::Places You can also look for information at: - MetaCPAN [https://metacpan.org/release/Locale-Places](https://metacpan.org/release/Locale-Places) - GitHub [https://github.com/nigelhorne/Locale-Places](https://github.com/nigelhorne/Locale-Places) - CPANTS [http://cpants.cpanauthors.org/dist/Locale-Places](http://cpants.cpanauthors.org/dist/Locale-Places) - CPAN Testers' Matrix [http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Locale-Places](http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Locale-Places) - CPAN Ratings [http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Locale-Places](http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Locale-Places) - CPAN Testers Dependencies [http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=Locale::Places](http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=Locale::Places) # LICENCE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright 2020-2021 Nigel Horne.
