[Gdal-dev] Old style ESRI prj files

[Ethan Alpert]

I'm still in the debugger looking at what is going on hopefully I'll
come up with something. For now, it seems [$prj] although it is the type
expected by the wrapper, causes pszItem to always be NULL when it
fetches the list of strings. So arg2 contains no data when calling
OSRSpatialReferenceShadow_ImportFromESRI
I'm going to have to read the perl guts docs to get a better idea of why
this is.

Here's an ESRI prj file:

PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_10N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",
SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Gr
eenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Transverse_
Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",500000],PARAMETER
["False_Northing",0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-123],PARAMETER["Scale
_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0],UNI
T["Meter",1]]

The ImportFromESRI method of OSR SpatialReference takes a list of 
strings as a parameter. Could somebody give me or point me to an example

of such a list?

Hobu, you changed the API of that method to use a correct typemap but it

seems that it miraculously worked earlier in the Perl bindings when it 
was given the contents of a PRJ file in one string.

Cheers,

Ari
