- This is a module to read, create and write shapefile as defined by ESRI, using
- Perl. It provides the Perl binding for the Shapelib library.
+ Geo::Shapelib is a module to read, create and write shapefiles as
+ defined by ESRI, using Perl. It provides the Perl binding for the Shapelib
+ library.
+ .
+ The Shapefile format is a working and interchange format promoted by
+ ESRI for simple vector data with attributes. It is apparently the only
+ file format that can be edited in ARCView 2/3, and can also be exported
+ and imported in ArcGis.
