DESCRIPTION

This Perl module provides fast lookup of country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ISP, domain name, connection type, IDD code, area code, weather station code and station, MCC, MNC, mobile carrier brand, elevation, usage type, IP address type, IAB advertising category, district, AS number and AS name from IP address using IP2Location database. This module uses a file based BIN database available at IP2Location Product Page upon subscription. You can visit Libraries to download BIN sample files. This database consists of IP address as keys and other information as values. It supports all IP addresses in IPv4 and IPv6.

This module can be used in many types of project such as:

1) auto-select the geographically closest mirror server
2) analyze web server logs to determine the countries of visitors
3) credit card fraud detection
4) software export controls
5) display native language and currency
6) prevent password sharing and abuse of service
7) geotargeting in advertisement

IP2LOCATION DATABASES

The complete IPv4 and IPv6 database are available at:

IP2Location Product Page

The database will be updated in monthly basis for greater accuracy.

Free IP2Location LITE database is also available at:

IP2Location LITE Page
