Geo::IPfree module

maheshkumar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks, I am trying to locate the location of IP addresses through the usage of the module Geo::IPfree. Any idea on this following is my code which I have written for testing.

use Geo::IPfree
$db = 'ipscountry.dat';
my $geo = Geo::IPfree->new([$db]);
my ($code1, $name1) = $geo->LookUp('200.176.3.142');

And I am getting the following error

"ipscountry.dat" is not exported by the Geo::IPfree module
Can't continue after import errors at Geo_IP_Free.pl line 2
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Geo_IP_Free.pl line 2, <DATA> lin
+e 260.

Semicolon after the use on the first line. `use Geo::IPfree`;	[reply] [d/l]

As Tutorials: Basic debugging checklist teaches, use B::Deparse to see how perl interprets your code You're missing a semicolon here `Geo::IPfree $db = 'ipscountry.dat';` [download] Next error is in `my $geo = Geo::IPfree->new([$db]);` You're probably confused by the Optional Arguments Notation ( Backus–Naur Form ) `new( [$db] )` means that you can use `new( )` or `new( $db )` The word-documentation for new explains this.
