NAME
Geo::Hashing - Perl library to calculate Geohashing points
SYNOPSIS
use Geo::Hashing;
my $g = new Geo::Hashing(lat => 37, lon => -122, date => "2008-05-24");
printf "Today's location is at %.6f, %.6f.\n", $g->lat, $g->lon;DESCRIPTION
This module allows calculating the locaiton of Geohashes as described in http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Main_Page.
METHODS
new
Create a new Geo::Hashing object.
lat
Set or get the points latitude. When settings, only the integer portion is considered. Set to undef to just get the offset.
lon
Set or get the points longitude. When settings, only the integer portion is considered. Set to undef to just get the offset.
date
Set or get the date used for the calculation. Note that this is the actual date of the meetup in question, even when the 30w rule is in effect.
djia
Set or get the Dow Jones Industrial Average used for the calculation. If not set, it will be automatically retrieved depending on the value of $self->source. If the data cannot be retrieved, undef will be returned.
source
Set the source of the DJIA opening data. Will load Geo::Hashing::Source::Name and call get_djia($date). See Geo::Hashing::Source::Random for a sample.
use_30w_rule
Set or get the 30w flag. Will be set automatically if lon is set and is greater than -30.
debug
