Geo-ShapeFile
(2.52)
Just what I needed! Thanks! Got a bunch of files from a client and could extract the points and data in one easy interface.
use Geo::ShapeFile;
use Data::Dumper qw{Dumper};
my $obj = new Geo::ShapeFile($file);
for my $index (1 .. $obj->shapes) {
my $shape = $obj->get_shp_record($index);
next unless $shape->shape_type == 1; #point
my $data = $obj->get_dbf_record($index);
my ($point)=$shape->points;
print join("\t", $index, $point->X, $point->Y), "\n";
print Dumper([$data]);
}
I would have given documentation a higher rating but I think the package needs a few more example scripts.

Some concern that the reported width/height of the overall shapefile is not quite true, but that was easy to work around. Otherwise, the module is flawless, and a great way to quickly turn GIS into KML/PNGs with Perl (although for real-world scenarios, I have found all Perl-based solutions too slow).

Not only does Geo::ShapeFile give you an easy and streamlined way to access data in ShapeFiles, it provides several useful utility methods as well! I've successfully incorporated this module into a couple of large-scale projects without a hitch.
Sincere thanks go to the author for putting out this wonderful module.
