NAME

WWW::Correios::CEP - Perl extension for extract address from CEP (zip code) number

SYNOPSIS

        use WWW::Correios::CEP;

        my $cepper = WWW::Correios::CEP-new;

        my $address = $cepper->find( $cep );

    print $address->{street}; # neighborhood, location, uf

DESCRIPTION

This module fetches CEP information (Brazilian ZIP codes) directly from the Correios website, Brazil's official post office company.

METHODS

new

Creates a new instance of WWW::Correios::CEP. Accepts the following arguments:

  • timeout

    when to give up connecting to the Correios website. Defaults to 30 seconds.

  • user_agent

    User Agent string. Default to "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

  • post_url

    Where to post the query. Defaults to Correios' current location (we hope!)

  • post_content

    What to post in the query. Defaults to Correios' standard options (we hope!)

  • lwp_options

    Extra options to pass to LWP::UserAgent.

find( $cep )

Recieves the CEP string and tries to get address data. Returns a hashref with the following keys:

  • street

  • neighborhood

  • location

  • uf

  • status

If there is more than one address, it returns a list of hashrefs in list context, or just the first hashref in scalar context, together with an "address_count" key with the total returned addresses.
