 Geo::Format::Landsat::MTL
   is a Exporter

 my ($type, $data) = landsat_mtl_from_file $filename;

 # study the result.

 my $data = landsat_meta_from_filename $filename;
 print $data->{WRS_PATH};

Process the content of a MTL file, as specified by document level1_dfcb_rev5_401.pdf. See also http://landsathandbook.gsfc.nasa.gov/handbook/handbook_toc.html

landsat_meta_from_filename(FILENAME)

Returns information from the filename, like the PRODUCT_METADATA structured from the MTL record, but without opening the file.

landsat_mtl_from_file(FILE)

Read one Vgroup record from the FILE, specified by name or filehandle.

Returned is a pair: the name of the record (for instance, L1_METADATA_FILE) and the destructed content. Each nested group is represented by a nested HASH.

The HASHes contain keys in capitals, which are exactly the fields as found in the meta-data file. Additionally, a number of lower-cased keys are added (the lower cased versions of some upper-cased names) with smart processed information.
