NAME

MaxMind::DB::Reader::XS - Fast XS implementation of MaxMind DB reader

VERSION

version 1.000008

SYNOPSIS

    my $reader = MaxMind::DB::Reader->new( file => 'path/to/database.mmdb' );

    my $record = $reader->record_for_address('1.2.3.4');

DESCRIPTION

Simply installing this module causes MaxMind::DB::Reader to use the XS implementation, which is much faster than the Perl implementation.

The XS implementation links against the libmaxminddb <http://maxmind.github.io/libmaxminddb/> library.

See MaxMind::DB::Reader for API details.

VERSIONING POLICY

This module uses semantic versioning as described by <http://semver.org/>. Version numbers can be read as X.YYYZZZ, where X is the major number, YYY is the minor number, and ZZZ is the patch number.

MAC OS X SUPPORT

If you're running into install errors under Mac OS X, you may need to force a build of the 64 bit binary. For example, if you're installing via "cpanm":

    ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" cpanm MaxMind::DB::Reader::XS

UBUNTU SUPPORT

The version of libmaxminddb that is available by default with Ubuntu may be too old for this level of MaxMind::DB::Reader::XS. However, we do maintain a Launchpad PPA for all supported levels of Ubuntu.

    https://launchpad.net/~maxmind/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Please visit the PPA page for more information, or, to configure your system, run as root:

    # apt-add-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa
    # apt-get update

The PPA is now configured, and you may install (or upgrade) the libmaxminddb library via the usual apt commands.
