Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS is Copyright (C) 2008-2022, 2024 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

http://gisdata.usgs.gov/XMLWebServices/TNM_Elevation_Service.php

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.
