My new module does this:
------------------------
1) Converts between Latitude/Longitude and UTM coordinates.
2) Performs datum translation between 231 datums.
3) Pretty-prints latitude/longitude into three common formats.
4) Implements a "Coordinate" object and methods:
The module contains these packages:
CoordinateFormat;
Ellipsoid;
EllipsoidTable; (Class data and methods only)
Datum;
DatumTable; (Class data and methods only)
Coordinate;
All (mostly?) object-oriented. No exports. $VERSION is defined
in each package and a version() method is defined in each.
These are the places in the heirarchy I thought it might fit, but
none seem to be a perfect fit:
Miscellaneous Modules
---------------------
Astro::Coordinate -- NO! Mine is Cartography, not Astronomy
Geo::Coordinate -- MAYBE
Perhaps a new heirarchy, similar to the Sci.geo heirarchy of the
newsgroups?
--------------
Sci::Geography::Coordinate
Sci::Cartography::Coordinate
Sci::Geo::Coordinate
Any pointers appreciated. I don't mind renaming my module at all.
Coordinate is probably not all that descriptive.
Yes, I've looked at the module list. I'm a new author. I'll
sign up with PAUSE once I know where the module should go.
Thanks,
