## DESCRIPTION

This class contains the continent-level data associated with an IP address.

This record is returned by all the end points.

## METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

### $continent\_rec-\>code()

This returns a two character continent code like "NA" (North America) or "OC" (Oceania).

This attribute is returned by all end points.

### $continent\_rec-\>geoname\_id()

This returns a `"geoname_id"` for the continent.

This attribute is returned by all end points.

### $continent\_rec-\>name()

This returns a name for the continent. The locale chosen depends on the `"locales"` argument that was passed to the record's constructor. This will be passed through from the GeoIP2::WebService::Client object you used to fetch the data that populated this record.

If the record does not have a name in any of the locales you asked for, this method returns `"undef"`.

This attribute is returned by all end points.

### $continent\_rec-\>names()

This returns a hash reference where the keys are locale codes and the values are names. See GeoIP2::WebService::Client for a list of the possible locale codes.

This attribute is returned by all end points.
