[pm-h] Power::Outlet

[Mike Flannigan]

It doesn't work on my Win7 machine.
It gives:

Error: None of the following supported coordinate standards are configured.

     - Environment variable COORDINATES_WGS84_LON_LAT_HAE
     - Filesystem /etc/local.coordiantes file

   at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Geo/Local/Server.pm line 98.


Let me know how well it works on you box.


Mike
