in reply to Who you gonna call? Google Civic Information client & website

Great idea! (++)

Unfortunately, at present it seems that whatever I enter into the address field on https://contactmyreps.com/ just returns a 500. What format should the address have? The POD suggests "123 Main St Springfield MO 12345", but even that format fails on the site. Hopefully just a teething issue.

Good to see it advertising the fact that it is written in Perl in the footer!

    That's unfortunate timing. I was installing a reCaptcha. Thanks for looking!

      Just to confirm: the site now works for me.

      For my own projects and any others where I have enough influence, captchas (and especially reCaptcha) are avoided. Restricting by count and IP address (or IPv6 range) is much less user-antagonistic and rarely impactful on the servers. I'd be surprised if such a facility were not already integrated into Dancer2. Maybe worth investigating?

        Thanks, hippo, I certainly will investigate that. There is no support in the D2 plugin for invisible recaptcha v2 or v3, so I had to implement it myself and it's still somewhat intrusive.
