Religion::Islam::Qibla - Calculates the Muslim Qiblah Direction, Great Circle Distance, and Great Circle Direction

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Religion::Islam::Qibla;
	#create new object with default options, Destination point is Kabah Lat=21 Deg N, Long 40 Deg E
	my $qibla = Religion::Islam::Qibla->new();

	# OR
	#create new object and set your destination point Latitude and/or  Longitude
	my $qibla = Religion::Islam::Qibla->new(DestLat => 21, DestLong => 40);

	# Calculate the Qibla direction From North Clocklwise for Cairo : Lat=30.1, Long=31.3
	my $Latitude = 30.1;
	my $Longitude = 31.3;
	my $QiblaDirection = $qibla->QiblaDirection($Latitude, $Longitude);
	print "The Qibla Direction for $Latitude and $Longitude From North Clocklwise is: " . $QiblaDirection ."\n";

	# Calculates the distance between any two points on the Earth
	my $orig_lat = 31; my $dest_lat = 21; my $orig_long = 31.3; $dest_long = 40;
	my $distance = $qibla->GreatCircleDistance($orig_lat , $dest_lat, $orig_long, $dest_long);
	print "The distance is: $distance \n";

	# Calculates the direction from one point to another on the Earth. Great Circle Bearing
	my $direction = $qibla->GreatCircleDirection($orig_lat, $dest_lat, $orig_long, $dest_long, $distance);
	print "The direction is: $direction \n";

	# You can get and set the distination point Latitude and Longitude
	# $qibla->DestLat(21);		#	set distination Latitude
	# $qibla->DestLong(40);	# set distincatin Longitude
	print "Destination Latitude:" . $qibla->DestLat();
	print "Destination Longitude:" . $qibla->DestLong();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module calculates the Qibla direction where muslim prayers directs their face. It
also calculates and uses the Great Circle Distance and Great Circle Direction.
