Subject: PlaceFinder replaces the Yahoo! Maps Web Services Geocoding API, which has been deprecated.
Yahoo Maps API has been deprecated according to: http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/placefinder/ The new service also has the option to output JSON instead of XML.

Cool -- that'll make things easier. Did they change the return format? Also, patches welcome. ;-) http://github.com/abh/Geo-Coder-Yahoo - ask

I had a look at the new API and it's just too different. The request is easy, of course, but I don't know that I could accurately map the response to the old response format. There's (poorly named?) Geo::Coder::Placefinder module; I'd suggest using that if you want to use the new API. I'll put a reference to that in the next release.
