in reply to Deep recursion on subroutine with bignum and Astro::Units

I always thought it was like converting miles to kilometers. You don't really need a Perl module for that. Does not make a big difference whether AU or nautical miles, light years or whatever - except the size of the numbers. But I am only a hobby astronomer and anyway very bad in math.

    Thanks for the reality check. Converting AU to KM is easier than using the module. Multiply by 149597870.7 and done.
