Geo::Coordinates - Basic class for geographical coordinates
use Geo::Coordinates; my $place = new Geo::Coordinates; $place->latitude(59.78); $place->longitude(10.12);
IT IS A BAD IDEA TO USE THIS CLASS in its present form! The Geo stuff is undergoing some elaborate revision, see http://wiki.bluedevbox.com/newgeo/new.htm but there was some demand for Astro::SolarParallax, so I needed to get it out the door. Anyway...:
This is a simple Object Oriented implementation of geographical coordinates, latitude and longitude. It is meant to be just a basic class, and won't do a lot on it's own. Basically, it is just a convenient container and abstraction layer. Hey, it's OO!
The constructor of this class. Nothing special.
latitude()
A method to set or retrieve the latitude. To set the latitude, supply a decimal degree argument.
longitude()
As latitude(), but instead sets or retrieves the longitude.
Geo::Distance, Geo::Coordinates::DecimalDegrees, Geo::Coordinates::UTM and DateTime::Util::Astro::Common, http://wiki.bluedevbox.com/newgeo/new.htm
This could be a dead end, so it may not be a lot to do, and it is so simple there shouldn't be any bugs either... But, as previously said, don't use it.
