Another question about shapefiles

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Joseph,

Check out perl modules:

Geo::ShapeFile
Geo::Shapelib
XBase

These are handy modules for working with shapefiles and the DBF
attributes file. I write scripts all the time for creating, reading and
manipulating shapefiles. When I need more performance I usually use the
shapelib library and C code.
