Package: libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl (1.05-1)

Perl extension for using the cfitsio library

Perl interface to William Pence's cfitsio subroutine library. For more information on cfitsio, see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio.

This module attempts to provide a wrapper for nearly every cfitsio routine, while retaining as much cfitsio behavior as possible. As such, one should be aware that it is still somewhat low-level, in the sense that handing an array which is not the correct size to a routine like fits_write_img() may cause SIGSEGVs.

The goal is to eventually use these routines to build a more Perl-like interface to many common tasks such as reading and writing of images and ASCII and binary tables.
