If you combine calc-tile.pl and find-elevation.pl the end result is 
something rather useful. Feed a list like this:

(1) I'm just making a few perl modules and I would like to use
the coding in calc-tile.pl. Is this ok???
(2) Is it possible to store the elevation for objects in stg files
*relative* to ground level at a given longitude/latitude?
I looked at tileentry.cxx, but I'm not familiar enough with
the FG sources/internals to say how this could be done.

That's not my code - it can be cound in the flightgear scripts 
directory, therefore is at least GPL, possibly even public domain.

The elevation in the stg files is relative to the spheroid, which is why 
I needed the telnet.pl code to connect to a running flightgear instance 
to get local ground level. It would be possible to support an offset 
from ground level with the script I have, although I've not yet found a 
need for it yet.
