Check out the module Geo::Coordinates::DecimalDegrees on CPAN. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Knipe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 12:12 AM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: slightly OT - co-ordinates
Lo all, This is slightly off topic, but does anyone know how to convert hours, minutes seconds coordinates into decimal? I.e. S33* 58.08, E18* 36.27'151 to the xx.xxxxx -xx.xxxxx Doing this manually / online is out of the question unfortunately. I have over 20,000 to convert :(( Thanks -- Chris. I love deadlines. I especially love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by..." - Douglas Adams, 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
