Image::WorldMap is a Perl module to create graphical world maps of data.

SYNOPSIS

use Image::WorldMap;
my $map = Image::WorldMap->new("earth-small.png", "maian/8");
$map->add(4.91, 52.35, "Amsterdam.pm");
$map->add(-2.355399, 51.3828, "Bath.pm");
$map->add(-0.093999, 51.3627, "Croydon.pm");
$map->draw("test.png");

This module helps create graphical world maps of data, such as the Perl Monger World Map (http://www.astray.com/Bath.pm/). This module takes in a number of label locations (longitude/latitude) and outputs an image. It can attach text to the labels, and tries to make sure that labels do not overlap.

It is intended to be used to create images of information such as "where are all the Perl Monger groups?", "where in the world are all the CPAN mirrors?" and so on.
This module comes with a low-resolution image of the world. Additional larger images have not been bundled with the module due to their size, but are available at: http://www.astray.com/WorldMap/

Requirements:
Perl
