DESCRIPTION

32       MaxMind and DP-IP.com provide geolocation databases in the MaxMind DB
33       file format format.  This Perl module finds or downloads and installs
34       the C library libmaxminddb, which can read MaxMind DB files.
35

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

37       All methods are inherited from Alien::Base.
38

DIAGNOSTICS

40       None.
41

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

43       None.
44

DEPENDENCIES

46       Requires Alien::Build from CPAN.  On Windows, Alien::MSYS needs to be
47       installed manually.
48
49       Install the package "libmaxminddb-devel" or "libmaxminddb-dev" if you
50       would like to use your operating system's libmaxminddb library.
51

INCOMPATIBILITIES

53       None.
54

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

56       If libmaxminddb <https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb> and its
57       development files aren't present, the library is fetched from GitHub
58       and built with Alien::Build, which requires the build tools from
59       Alien::MSYS on Windows.  If Alien::Build fails to build libmaxminddb,
60       make sure that you have a clean build environment with nothing but Perl
61       and the build tools in your path.
