Astro::STSDAS::Table - access STSDAS format table files
Astro::STSDAS::Table is a collection of routines to read STSDAS table files (see http://stsdas.stsci.edu/STSDAS.html for more information on the format). Casual users should peruse Astro::STSDAS::Table::Simple.
Those requiring a more flexible interface may wish to use Astro::STSDAS::Table::Binary, which is a subclass of Astro::STSDAS::Table::Base.
The package currently suffers from the following flaws:
Only binary tables are supported
Tables can only be read.
Reading of column-ordered binary tables is untested.
Reading of binary tables with vector elements is untested.
These classes were not designed as a drop in replacement for the STSDAS Table package. They were designed to simply read entire tables as is. As such the design might not scale well.
