Astro::Hipparcos::Record(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Astro::Hipparcos::Record(3)

Astro::Hipparcos::Record - Represents a single Hipparcos record

  use Astro::Hipparcos;
  my $catalog = Astro::Hipparcos->new("thefile.dat");
  while (defined(my $record = $catalog->get_record())) {
    print $record->get_HIP(), "\n"; # print record id
  }

Represents a single Hipparcos record. The code is auto-generated from the C-level structure. Thus the funny member names.

Returns a new record object.

Somewhat internal method that may SEGFAULT if you use it wrong.

Given a string that MUST contain a full line from the record file, fills the object with data from that line.

Returns the full original catalog line.

Each of these methods descriptions have the following format:
