OK i found the synopsis example , it makes more sense

apparently the data needs to be comma separated

i was hoping something more robust that would take any text file with clearly demarcated address, spaces, line returns, etc but not necessarily CSV, but also if its there, and rip out the address

however, i still dont know what "lmgtfy" is

this from synopsis of Geo::StreetAddress::US

use Geo::StreetAddress::US;

my $hashref = Geo::StreetAddress::US->parse_location( "1005 Gravenstein Hwy N, Sebastopol CA 95472" );

my $hashref = Geo::StreetAddress::US->parse_location( "Hollywood & Vine, Los Angeles, CA" );

my $hashref = Geo::StreetAddress::US->parse_address( "1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC" );
