Very nice, AM:,

Here's a link to the wrapped, mini SIMBAD script for SSCCE purposes: 1.simbad.pl. I don't know what adding safeguards on failed matches might do, as I don't have another course than die'ing.

Let me restate questions with this result:

Q1) What is the best-fit "line" for the 3 Astro::Coords points of @processed?

Q2) From these data, can we make any arguments about "betweenness?"

Q2a) From these data, can we calculate the 3 angles formed of @processed? It seems to me that 2 of the angles are going to be less than 10 degrees, and the one with Alnilam at its vertex in the neighborhood of 160, and from this, we might say that Alnilam lies "between." (Distance from observer is not relevant in this view.)
