DMS to WGS84

[MiCR0]

I am trying to work out how to convert DMS to WGS84

 

I have the coordinate in mysql like

 

latitude                    longitude

52°39'03.1 N            0°40'36.1 E

52°46'45.2 N            0°06'59.9 W

 

Any help would be great thanks.

I have found how to do this in perl

 

  foreach (@{$r->{data}{array}}) {
    if (length($_->{latitude})) {
      print "  <item rdf:about=\"$_->{objectno}\">\n";
      print "    <title>$_->{objectno} - $_->{objectname}</title>\n";
      print "    <description>$_->{postext}</description>\n";
      print "    <georss:point>";
      if ($_->{latitude} =~ /(\d+).*?(\d+).*?(\d+\.\d*)\s+([sN])/) {
        my $latitude = $1+$2/60+$3/3600;
        $latitude *= -1 if ($4 eq 'S');
        print $latitude;
      }
      print ' ';
      if ($_->{longitude} =~ /(\d+).*?(\d+).*?(\d+\.\d*)\s+([EW])/) {
        my $longitude = $1+($2/60+$3/3600);
        $longitude *= -1 if ($4 eq 'W');
        print $longitude;
      }
      print "</georss:point>\n";
      print "  </item>\n";
    }
  }
