The search service can find package by either name (apache), provides(webserver), absolute file names (/usr/bin/apache), binaries (gprof) or shared libraries (libXm.so.2) in standard path. It does not support multiple arguments yet...
The System and Arch are optional added filters, for example System could be "redhat", "redhat-7.2", "mandrake" or "gnome", Arch could be "i386" or "src", etc. depending on your system.
Computes Mercator Projection of input latitude/longitude coordinates (in degrees) into (x, y) coordinates (as distances in meters) from the meridian/equator. Also provides a method to convert back into latitude, longitude. Notes Use of Mercator projection on latitudes above/below +70/-70 degrees is strongly discouraged, due to the gross distortions of the projection. In fact, any use of the Mercator projection is strongly discouraged...but its the view we've all been programmed to see for 400 years, so its genetic sense memory by now. And if its good enough for Google, its good enough for me. This module was developed primarily for graphic rendering purposes. The returned distance values *should not be used for navigational purposes*. They are only useful for certain mapping operations, e.g., rendering a map to scale. For better approximations of actual distances, consider the Math::Trig manpage's great_circle_distance() function instead.
