"..get the description being shown in "quotation marks" ?"

Oh, I hadn't noticed that... you need to change line 46 to read: 

my $out = qq(var adeldesc = "$adeldesc"\n);

The use of 'qq' allows us to use double-quotes within the string, and also ensures that the variables are correctly interpolated.

"how do I get the script to write to /home/aml33704/public_html/"

Well, you simply change the destination in the open statement to include the full path to the file. I'd do something like this: 

my $outfile = '/home/aml33704/public_html/weather.js';

..and then: 
open W, ">", $outfile or die "Could not open $outfile for writing:$!\n
+";

(By the way, which address do I mail my invoice to?) ;)
