in reply to Checking the Weather

Another alternative to get text-based info is to use Weather::Simple. Here is an example that uses Weather::Simple for Tupper Lake, NY. It returns a hash that has all the info you need.

#!/usr/bin/perl use Data::Dumper; use Weather::Simple; # define parameters for weather search my %params = ( 'cache' => '/tmp/weathercache', 'partner_id' => 'somepartnerid', 'license' => '12345678', 'place' => 'Tupper Lake, NY', ); # instantiate a new weather.com object my $simple_weather = Weather::Simple->new(%params); my $weather = $simple_weather->get_weather(); print Dumper($weather);

Update: Fixed a comment in the code above that would prevent it from retrieving the Tupper Lake weather.
