in reply to OPPS - Grab weather from yahoo (2)

This worked really well the first time. Then I ran it again with a different zip code and it crashed thusly: 
IO::Socket::INET: Bad peer address at D:\FileBin\weather.pl line 36
Bad file descriptor at D:\FileBin\weather.pl line 36.
Line 36 is this one:$remote = new IO::Socket::INET ((I think)

    I believe this is caused when yahoo splits that
    zipcode / city up into differnt weather reports or
    the city is found in multiple states.

    On yahoo's site it lists options of differnt locations
    in such instances and the users is expected to drill down
    by clicking one of the links.

    I've added an if statement to make it quit nicely.
    Maybe I'll reqrite it using one of the modules KM has
    pointed out.
