Geographical distance between long and lat in bash

Does anyone know of any script or packages that allow the calculation of the geographical distance between two points of lat/long from within a bash shell?

I have been searching the web for the past few days and none of the options seem compatible with bash variables... (eg. geodist)

Many thanks,
Lily
