Why not just do it with Javascript ? If you have a webserver, you can just code it in Javascript (that's all HTML::GoogleMaps does is change your code to Javascript).

Thanks for the suggestion and mentioning (below) your experience
using GoogleMaps with it.
I suspect that one can also write a perl script that acts as a
simple HTTP server and works with GoogleMaps -- but I don't know
where to start for coding and for seeing examples of such scripts.
I would like to explore this before getting into Apache.
Any suggestions?

I would consider using HTML::GoogleMaps instead and bring up the
Google map interactive so you can pan and zoom direct from the
Google site. You can get a free key for your machine (I got one
for 127.0.0.1 and used that on my PC).

is WebServer::GoogleMaps.
To install on Windows, just end up with the file
perl/site/libWebService/GoogleMaps.pm
Then change line 57 in GoogleMaps.pm from
$self->{gm_version} ||= ".1";
to
$self->{gm_version} ||= ".3";

Actually, the fact that that script prints to a browser as a cgi script would can be overcome by having a corresponding .pl script print to a file and then opening the file in a browser. The actual restriction to a web-server is likely to come from HTTP::GoogleMaps' use of the "key" parameter -- the "key" is provided by Google to people who submit the web-server they would like to use the key from. So I suppose Google validates the key sent in with each request with the location from where the request is coming from before responding to the request. --Suresh ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

HTML::GoogleMaps or Other Way to show multiple addresses on a map
Hello, I would like to show multiple addresses on a map -- from a "user PC" (rather than from a "web-server"). I am hoping to have a perl script read in a list of addresses and generate a html page. All the input addresses would be within about 20 miles of each other; and each address in the list would have a html link associated with it. Viewing the html page generated by the perl script in a browser should show a map with markers for each address in the list. Clicking on the marker should open a new browser for the html link associated with that address. Can the preceding be done? Any suggestions? I browsed google maps API documentation http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ but that seems to be for web-servers. Also, I could not even get started with HTML::GoogleMaps and geocoder.us since the "Online Example" for HTML::GoogleMaps http://search.cpan.org/~nmueller/HTML-GoogleMaps-1/lib/HTML/GoogleMaps.pm#ONLINE_EXAMPLE and the examples on geocoder.us pop-up an error dialog box about internet explorer not being able to open the internet site.
