- original version; created by h2xs 1.19
1.02 November 13, 2002
- No changes to code, just tidied the documentation
1.03 18 December 2002
- changed name for CPAN release
- improved ll2grid function
- new ll2map and map2ll functions
1.04 29 September 2004
- corrected a bug in grid2ll, where long/lat values with
0 degrees were always printed as positive in scalar form
The problem was that -1 * 0 = +0 in Perl (as is says in
book somewhere).
- added simple coco.pl script to provide command line coordinate
conversions.
- actually implemented the long-promised map2ll and ll2map functions
as well as map2grid and grid2map for completeness. With these functions
you can convert to and from coordinates in a more useable form, such
as "OS Sheet 43; 875123".
- added a demonstration script --- plotmaps.pl --- which will produce
a pretty index of the Landranger maps, showing the GB coast line and the
large grid squares. The output is in PostScript. Use GhostScript to process
it. A PDF version of the output is also included.
- added a useful file with all the names and other details of the Landranger Sheets
1.05 29 March 2005
- Not released
1.06 16 May 2005
- general clean up
