README

        
This script searches the coordinates (latitude and longitude)

of a given location using exact or inexact searches, using data

from local sources or sources on the Internet. It can also

perform reverse lookups.

It is a drop-in replacement for the tzcoord.pl script that comes with

xplanet, but is more powerful and can know a lot more locations.

For usage information call "geo_locator.pl -h".

If a city you are interested in is not found, add it to the markers file

and contact the authors!

Comment, suggestions, bugreports are very much appreciated!

Needs Perl version 5.6 or later which can be obtained from

########## Installation ########################

* Unpack the distribution into a directory.

  If you have xplanet installed, unpack the distribution into the

  xplanet directory.

  

* If you unpacked everything into your xplanet-directory you should

  be ready to roll. If not, 

     * either set the XPLANET_DIR environment variable to your xplanet directory

     * or adjust the variable XPLANET_DIR at top of the xplanet.conf configuration file.  

* The very first run (and the first run after each configuration change) will be

  somewhat slow so the program can initialize its cache.

  

* More detailed configuration can be done by editing the xplanet.conf configuration

  file. Don't worry, its easy.
