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.

Astro::Telescope is a class for handling properties of individual telescopes
such as longitude, latitude, height and observational limits.

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.

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.

Misc::Quality provides a class for handling quality flags for astronomical
objects. This class can handle any type of flag used.

well as benchmark code by allowing timings of repeated trials. It is perfect
for when you need more precise information about the running time of portions
of your code than the Benchmark module will give you, but don't want to go all
out and profile your code.

to a test of their interestingness. A common such situation is when attempting
to isolate a small failure-inducing substring of a large input that causes your
program to exhibit a bug.
