[aprssig] perl Geo::Ellipsoid

[Andrew Rich]

Wonder is someone can help

I want to format a number in perl 

3 leading 0 padded 
2 trailing decimal places

Do I have to treat to the left of the decimal point and to the right as two seperates ?

I want 3.4565443 to look like "003.456"

Working on some GPS code

Using sprintf 

This puts 3 leading and zero pads:-

$dist = sprintf("%3d",$dist);
$bearing = sprintf("%3d",$bearing);

This puts two trailing :-

print "RNG = ".sprintf("%.2f",$dist)."\n";
print "BRG = ".sprintf("%.2f",$bearing)."\n";

How do i put them together ?

  Hello

  I have an idea, although not new, but novel

  I am taking a small netbook and LINUX and a GPS.

  I now have the flexibility to do anything with it.

  I can program and make the netbook do what ever I want.

  One thing I am playing with is the perl Geo::Ellispoid module.

  This allows me to get range and bearing, and also I am working on ETA code as well.
