Astro::SkyCat - Interface to the ESO SkyCat library

  use Astro::SkyCat;

  $cat = Astro::SkyCat->Open("gsc\@eso");

  $q = new Astro::SkyCat::Query();
  $q->width(2.0);
  $q->height(3.5);

  $pos = new Astro::SkyCat::WorldCoords(3,19,48,41,30,39);
  $q->pos( $pos );

  $qr = new Astro::SkyCat::QueryResult();
  $nrows = $cat->query($q, "/tmp/file", $qr);

  foreach ($cat->colNames() ) {
    print "Column: $_  Value: ", $qr->get(1,$_), "\n";
  }

This module provides a perl interface to the ESO SkyCat library. The library can be used to retrieve catalogues and astronomical images.
