simple tool for conversion

[Ethan Alpert]

If you're pulling data from mysql then I suggest using perl DBI and
Geo::Shapelib to create the shapefile in one step. A google search
turned up some C++ code and java code to do this. I use postgis so I
usually rely on pgsql2shp to create my shapefiles.

Yes that is what I am trying to do.  I have the latitude and longitude
for different Mysql database records and I wish to produce a point shape
file of these coordinates.


#Joseph Norris (Perl - what else is there?/Linux/CGI/Mysql) print @c=map
chr
$_+100,(6,17,15,16,-68,-3,10,11,16,4,1,14,-68,12,1,14,8,-68,4,-3,-1,7,1,
14,-
68,-26,11,15,1,12,4,-68,-22,11,14,14,5,15,-90);

This makes no sense to me what-so-ever what are you trying to do? Take
vertices in a text file and build a shapefile? Project lat/lon values
into California State Plane?

Can anyone make a recommendation for unix command line tool that will
convert lat/long to xy coordinates?

Thanks.
