Geo::Hash::XS - Geo::Hash in XS
my $gh = Geo::Hash::XS->new();
my $hash = $gh->encode( $lat, $lon ); # default precision = 32
my $hash = $gh->encode( $lat, $lon, $precision );
my ($lat, $lon) = $gh->decode( $hash );
Geo::Hash::XS encodes and decodes geohash strings, fast.
Currently this module is alpha quality (especially the "adjacent()" and "negihbors()" methods, which I just kind of copied the logic from elsewhere). Please submit tests and patches!
Encodes the given $lat and $lon to a geohash. If $precision is not given, automatically adjusts the precision according the the given $lat and $lon values.
If you do not want Geo::Hash::XS to spend time calculating this, explicitly specify $precision.
Decodes $hash to $lat and $lon
Like "decode()" but "decode_to_interval()" decodes $hash to $lat_range and $lon_range. Each range is a reference to two element arrays which contains the upper and lower bounds.
Returns the adjacent geohash. $where denotes the direction, so if you want the block to the right of $hash, you say:
use Geo::Hash::XS qw(ADJ_RIGHT);
my $gh = Geo::Hash::XS->new();
my $adjacent = $gh->adjacent( $hash, ADJ_RIGHT );
Returns the list of neighbors (the blocks surrounding $hash)
Returns the apparent required precision to describe the given latitude and longitude.
Used to specify the direction in "adjacent()"
Here's the output from running benchmark/encode.pl:

Obviously, the benefit of doing this calculation in XS becomes larger with higher precision, but generaly you don't need precision > 10.
