Blessings, Brothers,
My weather fetching script on my website no longer works. How it normally worked: html page generated form 'get' request invocing the script, which generated weather results, saved as file with js extension. Problem: Script still logs into bom (buero of met, australia), but is unable to fetch, or generate the correct data.
Any help is most appreciated...I tinkered around with it, but to no success :(

The script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

open(W, "weather.js");
@lines = <W>;
close(W);
$out = join('', @lines);

if (scalar(@lines) < 3 or -M "weather.js" > 0.25) {
use LWP::UserAgent;

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->timeout(60);
$request = HTTP::Request->new('GET', 'http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wr
+ap_fwo.pl?IDS10034.txt');
$res = $ua->request($request);
if ($res->is_error) {
  $str = $res->message;
} else {
  $str = $res->content;
}

$str =~ s/^.*IDS1003401//s;
$str =~ s/HEADLINE.*?$//s;

if ($str =~ /:\s+(.*?)\n\n/s) {
  $adeldesc = $1;
  $adeldesc =~ s/\n//g;
}

if ($str =~ /Adelaide City\s+(.*?)\s+Max\s+(\d+)/s) {
  $adelmax = $2;
}

if ($str =~ /Noarlunga\s+(.*?)\s+Max\s+(\d+)/s) {
  $norlmax = $2;
}

$out =<<EOF;
var adeldesc = "$adeldesc";
var adelmax = "$adelmax";
var norlmax = "$norlmax";

EOF
open(W, ">weather.js");
print W $out;
close(W);
}
print <<EOF;

Desired output example, generated in weather.js: 
var adeldesc = "Fine, mild and sunny afternoon. Moderate southeast win
+ds and afresh afternoon sea breeze.";
var adelmax = "29";
var norlmax = "32";
var elizmax = "26"; (a new field, which I'd love to have)
