[OSM-talk] Perl Geospatial Content

[Andy Armstrong]

(warning, perl content - if you're not interested in perl please skip  
this and accept my apologies)

I've been doing an informal survey of the various geo, gps, gis and  
mapping modules on CPAN and while there's certainly a lot of good  
stuff there, taken collectively CPAN's coverage of geospatial  
functionality somewhat resembles the state of the email related  
modules that provided the impetus for the Perl Email Project.

I'd like to get started with an effort to rationalise and refactor  
what's currently there, providing well written, lightweight modules  
with clean interfaces to cover a well defined set of geospatial  
functionality.

To get the ball rolling I've created a mailing list:
   http://www.hexten.net/mailman/listinfo/geoperl-l

I'm not looking for any particular commitment at this stage - but I'd  
welcome input from anyone with an interest in this area.
