Im very new to Perl, just started messing around with it about 3 months ago. I am working on a college senior project that requires me to take an address, geocode it(get approximate GPS location) and then send it along to a GPS device. the problem i am having is i cant/dont know how to get the program to return only the lattitude and longitude coordinates of the address. i have gotten my program to access the server and return information about the address, including the lat and long, but i want to seperate these 2 pieces of information out because they are all that i care about. Here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use SOAP::Lite; use Data::Dumper; #use strict; use warnings; #use Geo::Coder::Us; my ($where) = ""\n"; my $result = SOAP::Lite -> uri( 'http://rpc.geocoder.us/Geo/Coder/US' ) -> proxy ('http://rpc.geocoder.us/service/soap' ) -> geocode_address( $where ) -> result; print Dumper $result;
i've read through the geocode examples and the Soap::Lite pages and i've tried what i have seen but nothing seems to work. so any and all help would be extremely appreciated!!!! thanks
