Geo::Point tries to hide the maths and the coordinate system in which the point is represented. . One of the most confusing things when handling geometrical data, is that sometimes latlong, sometimes xy are used: horizontal and vertical organization reversed. This package tries to hide this from your program by providing abstract accessors latlong(), longlat(), xy(), and yx(). . This package provides the following modules: * Geo::Line - a sequence of connected points * Geo::Point - a point on the globe * Geo::Proj - simplified wrapper for Geo::Proj4 * Geo::Shape - base class for 2-dimensional points on the earth surface * Geo::Space - A collection of various items * Geo::Surface - A surface description
