Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS

This package contains a class that interfaces with the United States
Geological Service's elevation query server. The user has the option of
returning data from a given data set, from the 'best' data set for the
given latitude and longitude, or from all data sets.

Documentation for the web service may be found at
http://gisdata.usgs.gov/XMLWebServices/TNM_Elevation_Service.php

This package is installable by the usual incantation:

    gunzip Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS-9.999.tar.gz
    tar -xf Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS-9.999.tar
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

You should substitute the appropriate program name for 'make', eg nmake
(typically) under MSWin32, or mms or mmk under VMS. See
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe for a copy of
nmake for MSWin32 if you need it.

Should you prefer, the 'Build' installer is also available:

    gunzip Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS-9.999.tar.gz
    tar -xf Geo-WebService-Elevation-USGS-9.999.tar
    perl Build.PL
    ./Build
    ./Build test
    ./Build install

Of course, since it's pure Perl, you can just expand the kit and drop
the .pm files into the Geo/Elevation directory (creating it if
necessary) in the appropriate place in your @INC directories.
