it's in its own distribution, Geo::Point, see
https://metacpan.org/dist/Geo-Point/view/lib/Geo/Point.pod, which is not
currently packaged for Debian. However that's just sugar because, as the
manpage explains, you can just feed the decimal latitude and longitude
to the distance method directly:

    # Returns a Class::Measure object.
    my $distance = $gis->distance( $lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2 );
