OK but it's still one more thing to have installed! As I said I would be happy to have that code marked as deprecated. (i.e. no further bug fixes or enhancements).

well the legacy code has the advantage that it does not need the cfitsio libary installed. I would be loathe to take it out, but would not complain about it marked as deprecated.

You can install Astro::FITS::Header to do the parsing without using it to do the file opening and reading. It works fine without CFITSIO. So if the legacy code read the FITS header but used Astro::FITS::Header to parse it then no binary dependency is needed.
