Changes for version 0.021

  • General Make Time::y2038 recommended rather than required, since ActivePerl has problems with that module. We use it if available, otherwise we fall back to the core modules (and Time::Local if needed). Add eg/closest and eg/positions, showing calculation of the closest approach to a given point, and standalone calculation of the positions of all bodies at a given time. Correct '## no critic' in various places. Astro::Coord::ECI 0.021 Trap any exceptions encountered when setting the time, set the time to undef (since otherwise we're left in an inconsistent state) and re-raise the exception. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.016 Add OID number to exceptions related to orbital elements. Correct error messages involving using a near-earth model on a deep-space satellite or vice versa. Document the units of the model results (km or km/sec). Update canned Iridium status for the loss of Iridium 33 in a collision with Cosmos 2251. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set 0.006 Tell carp not to report Astro::Coord::ECI (and friends) errors as originating in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set. bin/satpass 0.021 Add gmt parameter which, if true, causes time output to be GMT. Trap Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE modeling exceptions in the 'flare', 'pass', and 'position' commands, so that the whole command does not abort when this happens. SIGINT still aborts the whole command. Add -quiet option to supress error output. Mark geocode_ca as unsupported and probably not working, since they have started requiring registration for use of their free port. Build.PL Change check for Astro::SIMBAD::Query to Astro::SIMBAD::Client Makefile.PL Change check for Astro::SIMBAD::Query to Astro::SIMBAD::Client
