The Starlink AST library provides facilities for transforming coordinates
from one system to another in an object oriented manner. Multiple
coordinate frames can be associated with a data set and it is also
possible to generate automatic mappings between frames.
Coordinate frame objects can be imported from FITS headers and from
NDF files.

Astro::Coords is a class for manipulating and transforming astronomical
coordinates. Can handle the following coordinate types:
- Equatorial RA/Dec, galactic (including proper motions and parallax)
- Planets
- Comets/Asteroids
- Fixed locations in azimuth and elevations
- Interpolated apparent coordinates
For time dependent calculations a telescope location and reference time must be
provided. See Astro::Telescope and DateTime for details on specifying location
and reference epoch.
WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Astro-Coords/
Astro::Telescope is a class for handling properties of individual telescopes
such as longitude, latitude, height and observational limits.
WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Astro-Telescope/
Astro::PAL provides a Perl interface to either the Starlink PAL positional
astronomy library.
Return values are returned on the stack rather than being modified in place.
In addition small utility subroutines are provided that do useful tasks (from
the author's point of view) - specifically routines for calculating the Local
Sidereal Time.

Astro::Flux provides a class for handling astronomical flux quantities. This
class does not currently support conversions from one flux type to another (say,
from magnitudes to Janskies) but may in the future.
WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Astro-Flux/
Class to transparently deal with the conversion between filters, wavelength,
frequency and other methods of specifying a location in the electro-magentic
spectrum.
Astro::WaveBand tries to determine the natural form of the numbers such that a
request for a summary of the object when it contains 2.2 microns would return
the filter name but would return the wavelength if it was not a standard filter.
In ambiguous cases an instrument name is required to decide what to return. In
really ambiguous cases the user can specify the unit in which to display the
numbers on stringification.
Used mainly as a way of storing a single number in a database table but using
logic to determine the number that an observer is most likely to understand.
Numerical comparison operators can be used to compare two Astro::WaveBand
objects. When checking equality, the "natural" and "instrument" methods are
used, so if two Astro::WaveBand objects return the same value from those
methods, they are considered to be equal. When checking other comparisons such
as greater than, the wavelength is used.
WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Astro-WaveBand/
Misc::Quality provides a class for handling quality flags for astronomical
objects. This class can handle any type of flag used.

GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. Additional it is the

And it fills the gap Garmin leaves in refusing to support Linux. QLandkarte GT
is the proof that writing portable applications for Unix, Windows and OSX is
feasible with a minimum of overhead. No excuses!
QLandkarte GT does replace the original QLandkarte with a much more flexible
architecture. It's not limited to a map format or device. Thus if you think your
Magellan GPS or other should be supported, join the team.
Additionally it is a front end to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing scanned
maps feasible for the normal user. Compared to similar tools like QGis, it's
target users are more on the consumer side than on the scientific one.
QLandkarte GT might not let you select every possible feature of the GDAL tools,
but it will simplify their use to the demands of most users.
