Provides methods to display / retrieve flag gifs dynamically from the web site of the Central Intelligence Agency. Permanently caches a local copy of the flag gif in your web site sub directory.

The flags for all country codes as of module publication are included in the ./flags directory should you wish to install them. However, If LWP::Simple is installed, Geo::CountryFlags will fetch them as needed and store them in ./flags [default] or the directory of you choice on your web site.

To fetch a single flag PATH the usage is simply:

my $cc = 'US'; # country code

my $flag_path = Geo::CountryFlags->new->get_flag($cc);

for multiple flags:

$gcf = new Geo::CountryFlags;
for (blah.... blah) {
my $cc = function_of(blah...);
my $flag_path = $gcf->get_flag($cc);
....
}
