Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS is Copyright (C) 2008-2014 Thomas R. Wyant, III

This package contains class Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS, which
interfaces with the United States Geological Service's elevation query
server. The user has the option of returning data from a given data set,
from the 'best' data set for the given latitude and longitude, or from
all data sets.

Documentation for the web service may be found at

INSTALLATION

Most Perl users will want to install using their favorite of either
'cpan' or 'cpanp'. For either of these, installing
Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS gets you everything. ActivePerl users
will want to use ActiveState's 'ppi', and install
Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS.

If for some reason neither of these works for you, you can download the
distribution and expand it using something like

    tar -xzf Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS-9.999.tar.gz

Users of MSWin32 (and perhaps other operating systems) may need to
convert the line endings in the expanded files from Unix to their native
system before proceeding.

Then, issue one of the following two incantations:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    sudo make install

or

    perl Build.PL
    ./Build
    ./Build test
    sudo ./Build install

You should substitute the appropriate program name for 'make', eg nmake
(typically) under MSWin32, or mms or mmk under VMS. See
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe for a copy of
nmake for MSWin32 if you need it.

Unix users may want to use 'su' rather than 'sudo' for the install.
Non-unix users may need to be logged in to an administrative or
otherwise privileged accout, and turn on privileges (if applicable) for
the install.

Of course, since it's pure Perl, you can just expand the kit and drop
the .pm files into the Geo/WebService/Elevation directory (creating it
if necessary) in the appropriate place in your @INC directories.
