This is an RFC for a proposed new module Yahoo::DrivingDirections.

The purpose of this module is to make it easy to get driving
directions for a trip with multiple stops. The module uses
maps.yahoo.com to determine driving directions for a multi-stop trip
(e.g., a drive from SFO airport to 35 Broadway Ave, Oakland, CA to the
center of zip code 90210-0001). Each trip leg can be downloaded to a
local html file, or an array reference to every trip leg can returned.

For example, the following code:

use Yahoo::DrivingDirections;
my $ydd = Yahoo::DrivingDirections->new (
'LAX', '1 Main St, Portland, OR', 'Denver, CO'
);
$ydd->get_maps();

would generate two output html files, trip_leg_1.html and
trip_leg_2.html, which would be the maps.yahoo.com directions from a)
the Los Angeles airport to 1 Main St, Portland, Oregon, and b)
Portland to Denver, Colorado, respectively.

A tarball of the module is available for perusal on my perlmonks

Oop, that's just the code, not a tarball.
