Geo::Distance::XS

If you are a Perl developer looking for a speedy way to calculate distances between geographical locations, then look no further than the Geo::Distance::XS module. This module offers faster C implementations of distance calculations than those found in the original Geo::Distance module.

Using this module is easy. After installation, you can use it in your Perl script via the *use Geo::Distance::XS* statement. Then, simply create a new instance of the Geo::Distance module and call the distance method with the desired units and latitude/longitude coordinates.

For example, you can calculate the distance between two points in miles using the following syntax with Geo::Distance::XS:

my $geo = Geo::Distance->new;
my $distance = $geo->distance(mile => $lon1, $lat1 => $lon2, $lat2);

If you're already familiar with the original Geo::Distance module, then you will find it easy to integrate the Geo::Distance::XS module into your existing code. Just consult the documentation for the original module to learn how to use this new implementation of the distance calculations that it provides.
