converting latitude and longitude

[Ronn Ross]

I'm attempting to convert latitude and longitude coordinates from degrees
minutes and second to decimal form. I would like to go from:
  N39 42 36.3 W77 42 51.5
 to:
-77.739855,39.706666

Does anyone know of a library or some existing out their to help with this
conversion?
