Geo::Postcode Description

UK Postcode validation and location Geo::Postcode is a Perl module that will accept full or partial UK postcodes, validate them against the official spec, separate them into their significant parts, translate them into map references or co-ordinates and calculate distances between them.It does not check whether the supplied postcode exists: only whether it is well-formed according to British Standard 7666, which you can find here: http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/gdsc/html/frames/PostCode.htmGeo::Postcode will also work with partial codes, ie areas, districts and sectors. They won't validate, but you can test them for legitimacy with a call to valid_fragment, and you can still turn them into grid references.To work with US zipcodes, you need Geo::Postalcode instead.SYNOPSIS use Geo::Postcode; my $postcode = Geo::Postcode->new('SW1 1AA'); return unless $postcode->valid; my ($n, $e) = ($postcode->gridn, $postcode->gride); # is the same as my ($n, $e) = $postcode->coordinates; # and alternative to my @location = ($postcode->lat, $postcode->long); # or the impatient can skip the construction step: my ($n, $e) = Geo::Postcode->coordinates('SW1 1AA'); my $clean_postcode = Geo::Postcode->valid( $postcode ); my ($unit, $sector, $district, $area) = Geo::Postcode->analyse('SW1 1AA'); Requirements: · Perl
