Hi all: I have never used FITS and was suffering through all the
FITS_LEGACY messages.
I just installed Astro::FITS::Header via cpan from the command line with
no trouble and now all the tests pass. So, I guess I'm not adverse to
requiring Astro::FITS::Header since it seems easy to install and does not
depend upon any special libraries.
Regards,
Doug

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.
