       This module makes use of the Starlink::AST module to read the FITS HDU from an AST FrameSet object.

       It stores information about a FITS header block in an object. Takes an hash as an argument, with an array
       reference pointing to an Starlink::AST FramSet object.

configure
           Reads a FITS header from a Starlink::AST FrameSet object

             $header->configure( FrameSet => $wcsinfo );

           Base class initialisation also works:

             $header->configure( Cards => \@cards );

           Accepts a reference to an Starlink::AST FrameSet object.

           If  a  specific  encoding  is required, this can be specified using the Encoding argument. Default is
           FITS-WCS if no Encoding is given.  Note that not all framesets can be encoded using FITS-WCS.

             $header->configure( FrameSet => $wcsinfo, Encoding => "Native" );

           If Encoding is specified but undefined, the default will be decided by AST.
