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.
