I built a small database with the longitude and latitude of every
postcode in Australia by querying the Google Maps API for just that
reason.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi All,
Does anybody know of any method of looking up Australian postcodes?
I need to validate the input on a postal address, and confirm that the
postcode given for the suburb is correct.
A quick search of CPAN doesn't yield anything promising.

<pre wrap="">Neither of these do what you're asking for, but they may be useful.
Regexp::Common::zip can verify the _format_ of Australian postcodes
Geo::PostalAddress can be used to verify/generate addresses in
Australian format
If you write a module to deal with AusPost's database, you may want to work in
the Geo::Postcode:: name space, and to conform to their existing interface.

I wonder how many web sites would have better "find the nearest office"
if any of the free data had coordinates in it as well.
