in reply to I'm confused... using Geo::Weather

Your problem is probably that you're running on a unix system and don't have the hash-bang line correct. On my system I used: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Geo::Weather;
my $weather = new Geo::Weather;
my $current = $weather->get_weather('19067');
print "The current temperature is $current->{temp} degrees\n";

and it ran fine. 80 degrees. If you leave out the first line altogether, it will probably try to run it with /bin/sh, which gives odd errors when it sees Perl...

    No, I must've missed the first line when I pasted... regardless, when I cut-and-pasted your code (with the #!, and yes, /usr/bin/perl is the correct path on my system...) I still get that infernal error!
    Also, if I use $weather->report(); instead, I get an error from the perl module itself... The same hash ref error.

    Thank you for your time,

      I get the same error when I run the code on a Win32 system. Using the code on the Aighearach's reply.

        When I first wrote about Geo::Weather it worked quite well, but now it seems it doesn't. When I ran the code in Aighearach's reply (which still has my zip code in it :) I ran it and it just went into World wide Wait. I don't know what's happened to it but it seems to have stopped working all together. 

        $_.=($=+(6<<1));print(chr(my$a=$_));$^H=$_+$_;$_=$^H;
print chr($_-39); # Easy but its ok.
