Hello. This is a very simple module that tests the well-formedness of UK postcodes and incidentally splits them into useful parts.
For US zipcodes, you need Geo::Postalcode.
It has been developed for geographical systems that work with postcodes at variable resolution: in other words, for people like me who can only afford to buy the cheaper postcode data sets. It should also be of use to people who want to validate input, as it should be very quick and memory efficient and doesn't load the location data or associated libraries until you ask for it.
any trouble, write to wross@cpan.org or post a bug at rt.cpan.org.
