Re: [MacPerl] Trig Trouble

Having recently done some very similar trig, I suggest the following:

Go ahead and try Math::Trig.  This defines many additional trig functions 
beyond sin(), cos() and atan2().  No need to reinvent the wheel.

If not the above, try more accurate values for your constants:

$pi = atan2(1,1) * 4.0;
$degress  =  360/($pi * 2)

Of course, I could be wrong...
