Riptari – Geo::Sketch<\/a><\/p>\n

I managed to get Peter Thomas’ GeoSketch plugin working on our webserver.
\nHe asked me to test it for him earlier in the week, and I ran into some problems. Apparently the perl version on our server is 5.6.1, and the plugin is written with a few dependencies to modules that are part of the core as of version 5.8.<\/p>\n

More precisely I needed to install Storable.pm and MIME\/Base64.pm<\/p>\n

now it works very well, as I have shown in this<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

Once I get used to the syntax, and find a good source of long\/latitude information, expect more posts with matching maps.<\/p>\n

And a big thanks to Peter at riptari<\/a>. This is a kick-ass plugin.<\/p>\n

The MT Plugin relies on the resident web services being available on this host (or some other host if someone installs the distribution on their own machine and provides them): the first service is the most basic and the one that the Geo::Sketch distribution is set up to serve. It supports only world political boundaries and country names. The second service is identical to the first except that it supports requests for city points, rivers lines, and water polygons<\/bq><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
