GPS-conversion

Exiftool does a great job with GPS-inputs. Can I use exiftool somehow to convert a triple of values (degree minute second) to a decimal-value? I would like to use it with a bash-script, which uses gps-variables from different sources. My input could be degree,minute,second or degree minute second.

Now you're starting to stretch the scope of ExifTool beyond its
designed function.  The best way to do what you want is to write
a bit of Perl yourself, possibly using the ExifTool conversion
routines if you want.  The command line interface won't do this
without going through a temporary file, which would be slow.
