You can also use Net::Telnet to check the weather from wunderground.com (they have a telnet interface which is all text). Here is the example from the Net::Telnet documentation which does just that:

    my ($forecast, $t);

    use Net::Telnet ();
    $t = new Net::Telnet;
    $t->open("rainmaker.wunderground.com");

    ## Wait for first prompt and "hit return".
    $t->waitfor('/continue:.*$/');
    $t->print("");

    ## Wait for second prompt and respond with city code.
    $t->waitfor('/city code.*$/');
    $t->print("BRD");

    ## Read and print the first page of forecast.
    ($forecast) = $t->waitfor('/[ \t]+press return to continue/i');
    print $forecast;

    exit;

The only problem with this telnet interface is that they do not have Tupper Lake, NY as a location you can get info on. They have several location throughout NY that may or may not be nearby.

Update: Fixed a copy/paste error in the code segment above.
