Subject: Mirror access?
It would be nice if there were a documented option of some sort to allow access to the Harvard University SIMBAD mirror, rather than going directly to Strasbourg. This could be on the constructor of the query object, and could be as simple as allowing the user to specify the domain name of 'simbad.harvard.edu', e.g.: $q = Astro::SIMBAD::Query->new (Mirror => 'simbad.harvard.edu', ...); and just allowing things to fall over if the input is something stupid. Thanks, Tom Wyant
