Another database of geographical data (Score:1)
Here's another database, that has lots of cities and aliases, with longitude, latitude and elevation: http://www.heavens-above.com/countries.asp [heavens-above.com].
I've built a script that sucks the whole database (it was the subject of one of my lightning talks in Munich), but maybe it could be turned into a module, too. Is there room for this in the WWW::Gazetteer namespace?

Elevation is useful, if you want to produce a proper ICBM block [tuxedo.org] for each perl monger group.
I'm not sure who this would be useful for - it seems that we know Saddam Hussein's favourite brand of chocolate (Quality Street [bbc.co.uk]) and computer manufacture (Sun [theregister.co.uk]) - but do we have any idea what his favourite programming language is, and hence if we should be afraid?
