We have several signup web sites using Catalyst. Recently we have realized we are going to have to limit signups by geographical region to help limit abuse. Captchas (we use and love reCaptcha) and other heuristics just do not seem to be sufficient. Does anyone on the list have any experience with open source options in the way of GeoIP modules? We are looking at MaxMind GeoIP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoip/) at the moment.
I deployed it on a lot of servers and am extremely happy with it. A full drop-in replacement for IP::Country::Fast IIRC, with monthly updates ready to roll. you can even pinpoint the city, with good accuracy according to my limited testing. Loads on the servers is negligible. IIRC, we use it with mod_perl and are happier with the GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE option. Since we restart the app more often than we update the db, we don't need GEOIP_CHECK_CACHE. I'd give it an A :) D.Morel _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
