Dear Monks,

use Geo::IP;
my $gi = Geo::IP->open("/somedirectory/dat/GeoIP.dat");
my $record = $gi->record_by_addr('103.2.106.33');
print $record->country_code,
      $record->country_code3,
      $record->country_name,
      $record->region,
      $record->region_name,
      $record->city,
      $record->postal_code,
      $record->latitude,
      $record->longitude,
      $record->time_zone,
      $record->area_code,
      $record->continent_code,
      $record->metro_code;

The output I got from the above (based on the code at https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo::IP) is:

-180.0000-180.00000--0

I was expecting to see a country name in the print outputs...

Am I missing something here?

Also, the GeoIP.dat file is no longer available at Maxmind) so I'm using a previous version. How or where do I get the new dat format?
