DESCRIPTION

This module constitutes a mod_perl (version 2) interface to the Geo::IP module which contains location information returned by the GeoIP City database.

CONFIGURATION

This module subclasses Apache2::RequestReq, and can be used as follows in an Apache module.

   # file Apache2::HelloIP
   
   use Apache2::Geo::IP::Record;
   use strict;
   
   sub handler {
      my $r = Apache2::Geo::IP::Record->new(shift);
      # continue along
   }
 
 

The directives in httpd.conf are as follows:

   PerlModule Apache2::HelloIP
   <Location /ip>
     PerlSetVar GeoIPDBCityFile "/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat"
     PerlSetVar GeoIPFlag Standard
     # other directives
   </Location>
 
 

The "PerlSetVar" directives available are

PerlSetVar GeoIPDBCityFile "/path/to/GeoIPCity.dat"

This specifies the location of the GeoIPCity.dat file. If not given, it defaults to the location optionally specified upon installing the module.

PerlSetVar GeoIPFlag Standard

This can be set to STANDARD, or for faster performance but at a cost of using more memory, MEMORY_CACHE. When using memory cache you can force a reload if the file is updated by using CHECK_CACHE. If not specified, STANDARD is used.

METHODS

The available methods are as follows.

$code = $r->country_code( [$conn] );

Returns the ISO 3166 country code for an IP address or hostname. If $conn is not given, the value obtained by "$r->connection->remote_ip" is used.

$code = $r->country_code3( [$conn] );

Returns the 3 letter country code for an IP address or hostname. If $conn is not given, the value obtained by "$r->connection->remote_ip" is used.

$name = $r->country_name( [$conn] );

Returns the full country name for an IP address or hostname. If $conn is not given, the value obtained by "$r->connection->remote_ip" is used.

$region = $r->region( [$conn] );

Returns the region for an IP address or hostname. If $conn is not given, the value obtained by "$r->connection->remote_ip" is used.

$city = $r->city( [$conn] );
