BACKGROUND
This is the README file for the Mod::Geo::METAR Perl module.
The Mod::Geo::METAR home page is located at:
http://astro.uni-altai.ru/~aw/perl/Mod-Geo-METAR/
There may be bugs in the code as well as in the documentation. If
you find either, I'd appreciate a patch or at least a mail message
to let me know what's wrong so that I can add it to the TODO list.
Mod::Geo::METAR as been developed and tested on Linux and Solaris
as well as Windows NT. It may well work on other platforms. It is
pure Perl. If you install it on another platform, and have trouble
I'd like to hear about it. If you develop patches for that
platform, I'd REALLY like to hear about it. Send me a note.
REQUIREMENTS
You will need Perl 5.005 or newer to install and use
Mod::Geo::METAR. It may work with older versions of Perl, but I
make no guarantees.
INSTALLATION
Installing Mod::Geo::METAR is an easy process.
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
DOCUMENTATION
The documentation is built-in to the Mod::Geo::METAR module in POD
format. You can use any of the pod2* converters to translate it
to a more readable format. The three most common formats are
'man', 'html', and 'text'.
When you ran the 'make install' above, documentation should have
been installed on your system such that 'perldoc Mod::Geo::METAR'
will spit it out. Of course, you can run your favorite pod
converter and generate it in alternative formats.
EXAMPLE SCRIPTS
The following scripts are included in the `examples'
directory. They are provided as examples. They should provide an
idea of what you can do with this module.
simple_dump.pl Process a simple METAR.
fetch_temp.pl Fetch the temperature and print it out.
If you develop a good example that would be useful to others, I'd
be glad to add it to the distribution.
TODO LIST
If you're wondering what will come next in Mod::Geo::METAR, see
the TODO file.
