NAME
Geo::IP - Look up country by IP Address
SYNOPSIS
use Geo::IP;
my $gi = Geo::IP->new(GEOIP_STANDARD);
# look up IP address ’24.24.24.24’
# returns undef if country is unallocated, or not defined in our database
my $country = $gi->country_code_by_addr(’24.24.24.24’);
$country = $gi->country_code_by_name(’yahoo.com’);
# $country is equal to "US"
DESCRIPTION
This module uses a file based database. This database simply contains IP blocks as
keys, and countries as values. This database should be more complete and accurate
than reverse DNS lookups.
This module can be used to automatically select the geographically closest mirror,
to analyze your web server logs to determine the countries of your visiters, for
credit card fraud detection, and for software export controls.
IP ADDRESS TO COUNTRY DATABASES
Free monthly updates to the database are available from
http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/
This free database is similar to the database contained in IP::Country, as well as
many paid databases. It uses ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, and LACNIC whois to obtain the
IP->Country mappings.
If you require greater accuracy, MaxMind offers a database on a paid subscription
basis. Also included with this is a service that updates your database automati-
cally each month, by running a program called geoipupdate included with the C API
from a cronjob. For more details on the differences between the free and paid
databases, see: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country
CLASS METHODS
$gi = Geo::IP->new( $flags );
Constructs a new Geo::IP object with the default database located inside your
system’s datadir, typically /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.
Flags can be set to either GEOIP_STANDARD, or for faster performance (at a cost
of using more memory), GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE. When using memory cache you can
force a reload if the file is updated by setting GEOIP_CHECK_CACHE.
$gi = Geo::IP->open( $database_filename, $flags );
Constructs a new Geo::IP object with the database located at $database_file-
name.
$gi = Geo::IP->open_type( $database_type, $flags );
Constructs a new Geo::IP object with the $database_type database located in the
standard location. For example
$gi = Geo::IP->open_type( GEOIP_CITY_EDITION_REV1 , GEOIP_STANDARD );
opens the database file in the standard location for GeoIP City, typically
/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat.
