Perhaps the simplest way is using something like [QGIS and its delimited text plugin][1] to import and then export the data. If you're looking for something commandline and scalable, then the VRT approach Sasa mentioned is a good one. You can also do it with file inputs and outputs using `gdaltransform`: gdaltransform -s_srs epsg:4326 -t_srs epsg:25832 < space-delimited-coordinates.txt And if you need more programmatic access to the results, check out geographika's [answer using pyroj][2] for a related question.
