in reply to returning lat and long only??

You may find that learning a little more about hashes helps. Have a look at perldata.

I notice that you have commented out use strict;. Especially when you are learning Perl (and aren't we all) you should always use strictures. Points for knowing about strict and warnings, but major points off for turning off strict (probably because it was telling you something you didn't understand).

Perl is environmentally friendly - it saves trees

    I've wondered about this. Perhaps strict should be renamed to "help" and warnings to "more_help"

      ...and diagnostics might be lots_more_help, or perhaps helpful_help(?).
