You provide a place to search for (e.g. a city or "city, country") and you'll get back a simple hash containing some usefull weather information about all locations whose name matches to the search string. =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new(hash or hashref) The constructor takes the same hash or hashref as L does. Please refer to that documentation for further details. Except from the L parameters this constructor takes a parameter I which defines the location to search for. It is not possible to provide the location to search to the I method! =head1 METHODS =head2 get_weather() This method invokes the L API to fetch some weather information and returns an arrayref containing one or many hashrefs with some high level weather information. If no location matching the search string is found, it returns I. When you construct a L object like shown in the synopsis above, the arrayref returned has the following structure: $VAR1 = [ { 'place' => 'Heidelberg, Germany', 'celsius' => '0', 'fahrenheit' => '32', 'temperature_celsius' => '0', 'temperature_fahrenheit' => '32' 'windchill_celsius' => '-6', 'windchill_fahrenheit' => '21', 'windspeed_kmh' => '26', 'windspeed_mph' => '16', 'wind' => '16 mph 26 km/h from the North Northeast', 'updated' => '11:50 AM Local on January 26, 2005', 'conditions' => 'Partly Cloudy', 'pressure' => '30.21 in / 1023.0 hPa', 'humidity' => '60', }, { 'place' => 'Heidelberg, KY', ... }, { 'place' => 'Heidelberg, MS', ... } ]; =head1 SEE ALSO See also documentation of L and L. =head1 AUTHOR Thomas Schnuecker, Ethomas@schnuecker.deE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2004-2009 by Thomas Schnuecker This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
