[Antelope] polygon data storage format

[Nikolaus Horn]

Hi Gabe,

there is acontributed program, xy2polygon that could do the conversion  
for you.
There is a manpage for the polygon schema, polygon1.2(5) that explains  
the storage format, at least this was my intention when I wrote it.
If your code really needs to be in Perl, I could add the functionality  
to save polygons to perlpolygon. Otherwise I would recomment to use  
either
xy2polygon directly or to modify it for your needs.

Additionally I can offer some matlab extension to read/write polygons.
