Is there an open source address-parser(locations) algorithm?

Solution
Here is a Perl solution that seems to address your address problem:

And here is JGeoCoder, a Java solution :

Problem
I'm looking for a good address-parser that could parser any free texts and generate a tokenized output: If you have something in C# would be helpful, but has no problem if in another language. Example 1: Free text entry: 23 Street n. 213 new york ny Output: Street: 23 Street, Number: 213, City: New York, State: NY Example 2: Free text entry: new york Output: City: New York Example 3: Free text entry: 12345 Output: ZIP: 12345 Example 4: Free text entry: Auckley Fake Street New York New York Output: Street: Auckley Fake Street, City: New York, State: New York
