Yeah, it's basically a web-page parsing script, but this is still a quick and dirty useful tutorial on how to do that. Given an IP address or set of IP addresses (@x), it will spew back the latitude and longitude that NetGeo has for it (approximates only).
@x =('192.172.226.77');
#$/;
foreach $ipaddress (@x)
{
$command = 'http://netgeo.caida.org/perl/netgeo.cgi/netgeo.cgi
+?method=ge
tLatLong\&target='.$ipaddress.'\&.cgifields=method\&.cgifields=nonbloc
+king';
@foo = `lwp-request $command`;
for $line (@foo)
{
chomp $line;
$line =~ s/<br>//g;
if ($line =~ /^(LAT:)/)
{
$lat = $line;
$lat =~ s/^LAT://g;
if ($lat < 0) {$lat = int($lat+180)}
else {$lat = int($lat+0)}
}
elsif ($line =~ /^(LONG:)/)
{
$long = $line;
$long =~ s/^LONG://g;
if ($long < 0) {$long = int($long+180)}
else {$long = int($long+0)}
}
}
}
print "Lat: $lat\tLong: $long";
This is from quite a while ago, but still works fine.
