Hi Monks,

First of all, I am new to Perl but not so new to programming. Anyway I am loving Perl more than Java or Pascal... Is fun.

Well, to the point:

I wanna do the following script for my job:

I analyze metrics,KPIs and all that telecom stuff.

So, I want to convert all the data into a KML file to be able to see it in Google earth.

For example, I got in Melbourne 3 Base station and around them I have 50% of drops calls. so this data I have it in Excel but I am trying to make a script to be able to see it from google earth in a Choropleth Map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choropleth_map)

So, I am trying to use Geo::KML::PolyMap but when I am running my code the following error comes up:

"Not an ARRAY reference at C:\Myperl\perl\site\lib\Geo\KML\PolyMap.pm"

So it can be a bug or I am doing something wrong.

Finnaly, the fact is that I am basically copying and pasting the code from CPAN and Testing/running to see if it works.

The code is the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Tratando de crear un programa que lea, realices unas condiciones y c
+rea un nuevo archivo xlsx con el resultado 
use strict;
use warnings;
system qw"cls";


use Geo::KML::PolyMap qw(generate_kml_file generate_kmz_file);


my $poly = "((144.9659,-37.8136),(144.9577,-37.81864),(144.9707,-37.81
+46),(144.9659,-37.8136))";

my $data = 'DCR ';

my $entities = { data => $data,
                 polygon => $poly};
        

# Clusters "Total Population" data for "Foobar City" in $entities into
+ 5 bins;
# renders using colors from $startcolor to $endcolor;
# generates a legend; renders output to file handle passed in $kmz_fil
+ehandle
generate_kmz_file(entities => $entities,
                  placename => "Foobar City",
                  data_desc => "Total Population",
                  nbins => 5,
                  kmzfh => 'C:\Myperl\data\maptest.kml',
                  startcolor => "FFFF0000",
                  endcolor => "FF00FF00");
 
# As above, but without a legend
generate_kml_file(entities => $entities,
                  placename => "Foobar City",
                  data_desc => "Total Population",
                  nbins => 5,
                  kmlfh => 'C:\Myperl\data\maptest.kml',
                  startcolor => "FFFF0000",
                  endcolor => "FF00FF00");
