NAME

Geo::Query - Perl extension for querying geo related data from different sources.

SYNOPSIS

use Geo::Query;

Library. This will be the container for future Geo::Query::Any modules.

Calculating distance

$geo = Geo::Query->new();
$d = $geo->distance(
	lat1 => 47.463173, lng1 => 9.0005,
	lat2 => 47.499879, lng2 => 8.72616
);
print "Distance is ", $d->{'km'}, " kilometers\n";

This returns a rough estimation of the distance between two points. For more possibilities in calculating distances please take a look on Geo::Distance - Calculate Distances and Closest Locations.
