Stellar data can be accessed with Astro::SIMBAD::Client, but idk how to parse it:

perl -MAstro::SIMBAD::Client -le '$s=Astro::SIMBAD::Client->new;@q=spl
+it /\n/, $s->url_query(id => Ident => "$ARGV[0]", NbIdent => 1);@r=gr
+ep/ICRS/,@q;print for @r' aldebaran
[download]

Result:

Coordinates(ICRS,ep=J2000,eq=2000): 04 35 55.23907  +16 30 33.4885 (Opt ) A [7.38 5.70 90] 2007A&A...474..653V
