       The "Geo::Coder::OSM" module provides an interface to the OpenStreet Nominatim geocoding service.

new
           $geocoder = Geo::Coder::OSM->new()
           $geocoder = Geo::Coder::OSM->new(
               ua      => $ua,
               sources => [ 'osm', 'mapquest' ],
               debug   => 1,
           )

       Creates a new geocoding object.

       Accepts an optional ua parameter for passing in a custom LWP::UserAgent object.

       Accepts an optional sources parameter for specifying the data sources.  Current valid values are osm and
       mapquest. The default value is osm.  To cycle between different sources, specify an array reference for
       the sources value. To define additional sources, see "SOURCES" below.

   geocode
           $location = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location)
           @locations = $geocoder->geocode(location => $location)

       In scalar context, this method returns the first location result; and in list context it returns all
       location results.

       Each location result is a hashref; a typical example looks like:

           {
               address => {
                   city         => "Los Angeles",
                   country      => "United States of America",
                   country_code => "us",
                   hamlet       => "Hollywood",
                   road         => "Hollywood Boulevard",
                   station      => "Hollywood/Highland",
                   suburb       => "Little Armenia",
               },
               boundingbox => [
                   "34.101634979248",   "34.1018371582031",
                   "-118.339317321777", "-118.33910369873",
               ],
               class => "railway",
               display_name =>
                   "Hollywood/Highland, Hollywood Boulevard, Little Armenia, Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States of America",
               icon =>
                   "http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/images/mapicons/transport_train_station2.p.20.png",
               lat => "34.101736",
               licence =>
                   "Data Copyright OpenStreetMap Contributors, Some Rights Reserved. CC-BY-SA 2.0.",
               lon      => "-118.33921",
               osm_id   => 472413621,
               osm_type => "node",
               place_id => 9071654,
               type     => "station",
           }

   reverse_geocode
           $location = $geocoder->reverse_geocode(lat => $lat, lon => $lon)
           $location = $geocoder->reverse_geocode(latlng => "$lat,$lon")

       Returns a location result for the given lat/lon pair.

   response
           $response = $geocoder->response()

       Returns an HTTP::Response object for the last submitted request. Can be used to determine the details of
       an error.

   ua
           $ua = $geocoder->ua()
           $ua = $geocoder->ua($ua)

       Accessor for the UserAgent object.

   SOURCES
       To define additional sources add them to the %SOURCES package variable like so:

           $Geo::Coder::OSM::SOURCES{local} = 'http://127.0.0.1/api_base_path';
           $Geo::Coder::OSM::SOURCES{internal} = 'http://internal.corp/api_base_path';
