Geo::Coder::Many::PlaceFinder - Yahoo PlaceFinder plugin for Geo::Coder::Many

Version 0.02

This module adds Yahoo PlaceFinder support to Geo::Coder::Many.
Use as follows:
use Geo::Coder::Many;
use Geo::Coder::PlaceFinder;
use Geo::Coder::Many::PlaceFinder;
my $options = { };
my $geocoder_multi = Geo::Coder::Many->new( $options );
my $place_finder = Geo::Coder::PlaceFinder->new( appid => 'YOUR_APP_ID' );
my $place_finder_options = {
geocoder => $place_finder,
daily_limit => 50000,
};
$geocoder_multi->add_geocoder( $place_finder_options );
my $location = $geocoder_multi->geocode( { location => '82 Clerkenwell Road, London, EC1M 5RF' } );

As of writing, Yahoo PlaceFinder allows up to 50000 requests per day. This may change, so you should check the latest documentation to make sure you aren't going to get blocked.

This is called by Geo::Coder::Many - it sends the geocoding request (via Geo::Coder::PlaceFinder) and extracts the resulting location, returning it in a standard Geo::Coder::Many::Response.
Returns the name of the geocoder type - used by Geo::Coder::Many

This module is based on the Geo::Coder::Many::* modules provided with Geo::Coder::Many. It is, of course, useless without Geo::Coder::Many and Geo::Coder::PlaceFinder.
