Residue of [cosh (1/0)]^2

I need to find the residue at z = pi of:
f(z)=[cosh(1zπ)]2f(z)=\left[\cosh\left(\dfrac{1}{z-\pi}\right)\right]^2

I think I first need to find the order of the pole (2?) but the only way I know of doing that is doing f(z)(zπ)Nf(z)(z-\pi)^N, which doesn't seem to work with the cosh...
You may well need to consider the Taylor/Laurent Series of f(z)f(z) around z=πz=\pi in this example.

If you're not confident in doing it, Wikipedia has a semi-decent worked example. (I've not done any complex analysis for 18 months, so it would take a while for me to refresh my memory :colondollar: )

Oh yeah I can use the expansion for cosh...
