Geo/Distance version 0.03
=========================

This perl library provides the ability to calculate the distance 
between two geographic points and to find the closest locations to 
a single point using a database connection.  There is both a 
function oriented interface, and an object oriented interface.  
Both have the same capabilities.  Your choice of interface depends 
on your programming style and needs.  Geo::Distance only recognizes 
standard decimal based longitude and latitude measurements.  If you 
have other coordinate systems that you would like to use, then take 
a peak at the Geo::Coordinates::* modules.  The distance that is 
returned can be in one of several different measurements, such as 
meters, light seconds, miles, inches, feet, etc.
