Well, I am thinking of something like:
---------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;


open (TMP, "traceroute -q 1 -w 2 -n www.debian.org|");

while (my $line = <TMP>) {

    if ($line =~ m/\s*\d\s+(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s/) {
        my $geoip = `geoiplookup $1`;
        if ($geoip =~ m/GeoIP Country Edition:\s*([A-Z]+),/) {
            print "Country: $1\n";
            last;
        }
    } 
}
close (TMP);
-------------------------------------------------------------

But dont know how reliable that is.
