Astro::Catalog::Query::MPC(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Astro::Catalog::Query::MPC(3)

Astro::Catalog::Query::MPC - A query request to the Minor Planet Center's Minor Planet Checker.

    $mpc = new Astro::Catalog::Query::MPC( 
            RA => $ra,
            Dec => $dec,
            Year => $year,
            Month => $month,
            Day => $day,
            Radmax => $radius,
            Limit => $limit,
            ObsCode => $obscode,
        );

    my $catalog = $mpc->querydb();

This module provides an object-oriented interface to the Minor Planet Center's Minor Planet Checker webform available at http://scully.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckMP. It stores information about asteroids found in a search radius at a specific epoch in an "Astro::Catalog" object.

The object will by default pick up the proxy information from the HTTP_PROXY and NO_PROXY environment variables. See the LWP::UserAgent documentation for details.

See Astro::Catalog::BaseQuery for the catalog-independent methods.
