[Proj] Converting to SRS:4326

[Ed McNierney]

Bradley -

 

If you are going to provide extents to MapServer for latitude and
longitude values in degrees, you need to provide decimal numbers, not
degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Yes sorry to mention thats what I was doing and I got the same results
as you did but these do not work in mapserver as it says that the extent
is invalid. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the d's etc.

Bradley,

I don't know this is.  When I use that commandline I get the usual
wait-for-input state, and no output till I enter values.

The proj command reprojects points, not rectangles.  You can get
a rough idea by reprojecting two corners, or a better representation 
by reprojecting all four corners.  For instance if I do the following

warmerda at amd64[49]% proj -I +init=epsg:28355 << EOF
? 301964.225304 6172911.602455
? 439497.461276 6230476.242273
? EOF

I get:

144d50'28.65"E  34d33'59.396"S
146d20'39.655"E 34d3'52.921"S

Best regards,
