    all Berkeley DB support has been removed in favor of loading the entire
    CSV database into memory.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION
    This is a module for calculating the distance between two postal codes.
    It can find the postal codes within a specified distance of another
    postal code or city and state. It can lookup the city, state, latitude
    and longitude by postal code.

RATIONALE BEHIND NO BERKELEY DB
    On a busy day at work, I couldn't get Geo::PostalCode to work with newer
    data (the data source TJMATHER points to is no longer available), so the
    tests shippsed with his module pass, but trying to use real data no
    longer seems to work. DB_File marked the Geo::PostalCode::InstallDB
    output file as invalid type or format. If you don't run into that issue
    by not wanting to use this module, please drop me a note! I would love
    to learn how other people made it work.

    So, in order to get my shit done, I decided to create this module.
    Loading the whole data into memory from the class constructor has been
    proven to be enough for massive usage (citation needed) on a Dancer
