gray,
Perhaps if you posted your test script we could dig further.

Without Geo::Distance::XS present. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Geo::Distance;

my $geo = Geo::Distance->new;
for (qw/tv hsin polar cos gcd mt/) {
    $geo->formula($_);
    print $_, " ", $geo->distance('mile', 39.175555,-76.671388 => 33.9
+42222,-118.407222), "\n";
}
__DATA__

Update: Ok, I am a freaking idiot who should not write code while up late at night. I swapped long/lat. This was further complicated by tye's method having in the same order as I was using which produces the correct result. I need to have my JAPH card revoked. Please forgive my gigantic stupidity.
