Our problem is that given a lat+lon (or X-Y mercator projection of it) we need to determine if it is "within" a customer-assigned bounary. This is a most commercial use, so I'll have to check what the GPC library costs. Might be our best way out, though.

I've put mine in. I don't have anything I can contribute (current code is work for hire, not amenable to CPAN). I've never actually had any work that requird PDL before. The most recent release may be amenbable to some bioinformatics I'm working on, but that uses Postgres, which has a working 'within' operator so I'm not yet sure whether PDL is necessary there (yet). -- Steven Lembark 3646 Flora Pl Workhorse Computing St Louis, MO 63110 [email protected] +1 888 359 3508 _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
