Thank you for all your good work for Perl on CPAN! I use your Astro modules constantly to power my planetariums and clocks. I'd like to see your 30 lines. Here is one that puts SIMBAD data in a perl hash:

perl -MAstro::SIMBAD::Client -MData::Dumper -le '$s=Astro::SIMBAD::Cli
+ent->new;@s=split/\n/,$s->url_query(id => Ident => "$ARGV[0]", NbIden
+t => 1);splice(@s,0,7);splice(@s,20,$#s+1);%s=map{/([^:]+\S)\s?:\s+(\
+S.*)/;$1=>$2}@s;@s=grep/^Coord/,keys%s;print"$_: $s{$_}"for@s;print q
+q[\n$s{"Proper motions"}\n];print Dumper\%s;' sirius

Prints coordinates and proper motions and dumps the hash:

PS - I think the easiest way to get deg2rad (and rad2deg) is a core module:

use Math::Trig 'deg2rad';
