Based on [PerlMonks](https://www.perlmonks.org/) posts
[1226112](https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1226112) and
[1226223](https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1226223) by
[cavac](https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=890813), this is my attempt in
opening the GeoIP2 data from [MAXMIND](https://dev/maxmind.com)
available [here](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/)

The [download section](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/#Downloads)
has three CSV databases available:

 - [Country](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip)
 - [Provider](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-ASN-CSV.zip)
 - [City](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City-CSV.zip)

If you download all three, and create a postgres database `geoip`, then
[geoip](geoip) will convert all CSV data to database tables.

## Use

``` sh
 $ perl geoip
 $ perl geoip 66.39.54.27 209.197.123.153 216.92.34.251
 $ perl geoip perlmonks.org
```

Once the database is filled, the last call might return something like

```
GeoIP data for 66.39.54.27 - www.perlmonks.com:
   CIDR      : 66.39.0.0/16
   IP range  : 66.39.0.0 - 66.39.255.255
   Provider  : pair Networks
   City      : Pittsburgh, 508, 15203
   Country   : US  United States
   Continent : North America
   Location  :   40.4254 /  -79.9799 (1000)   40Â°25'31.44" /  -79Â°58'47.64"

   Timezone  : America/New_York

   Satellite : No

```

and, when you also use the `--dist` option
```

## PREREQUISITES

- perl-5.14.0
- Socket (CORE since per-5.000)
- [Archive::Zip](https://metacpan.org/release/Archive-Zip)
- [Text::CSV_XS](https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS)-1.35
- [Net::CIDR](https://metacpan.org/release/Net-CIDR)

For use of the `--dist` option, two additional modules are required.
This functionality is optional, `geoip` will work perfectly fine
without these.

- [LWP::UserAgent](https://metacpan.org/release/LWP-UserAgent)
- [HTML::TreeBuilder](https://metacpan.org/release/HTML-TreeBuilder)

## INSTALLATION

Using PostgreSQL:
```
$ echo "create database geoip;" | psql -f -
$ perl ./geoip --fetch
$ ln geoip ~/bin/
```

Using SQLite (database will be close to 500 Mb):
```
$ perl ./geoip --fetch --DB=dbi:SQLite:dbname=geoip.db
```
or
```
$ export GEOIP_DBI_DSN=dbi:SQLite:dbname=/my/databases/geoip.db
$ perl ./geoip --fetch
```

Depending on the amount of memory you have, this might take a while.

You can also fetch the files yourself

```
$ wget -m -L -nd -np -nH \
 http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-ASN-CSV.zip  \
 http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City-CSV.zip \
 http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip
```

## TODO

- IPv6. The current version only implements the IPv4 part. The CSV files however
  also the IPv6 data, so it should not be too hard to add.
