    I have a list of lat/long that I need to bounce off of Geonames.org to get its City, State, and Country. This is call Reverse Geocoding. When the information is passed to http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceName?lat=47.3&lng=9
    I get back in xml format the information I need. I have about 50K points that I need to get information for. Looking for either a quick Perl script that can query a comma delimited text file with the lat and long and spit out the lat/long along with the City, State, and country Or a GUI that I can install that will do the same thing.

    50,000? ok, perl can parse the text file, accept the xml response, parse that etc. Is there a script which does this already or do you want one coded, what's the question here?

    I have done some work with GeoCodes-- see this page-- at the bottom of the page. I used curl in the example. Let me know if you want me to take a look at the task. PHP/Curl? I also developed a quickmaps interface -- using Google Maps. See the Dining and Travel page.

    Q...
