Excellent work,
But maybe you can add some weather textinfo though. If you decide to do so, you can use the code below to get the ICAO info from an airport close to your house. I fetched this info with Net::FTP, (which is a little bit faster I believe?) but LWP::Simple works just as good.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTTP::Request;
#Name your city, village, carton box
my $city = "My City";
#Text to appear in above weatherreport
my $wthrtext = "Current Weather in $city:";
# Your very own ICAO location. See http://weather.noaa.gov for more i
+nfo...
my $weathericao = "EHAM.TXT";
# Create yer user agent object
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent( "WeatherBot " . $ua->agent );
# Add your request ;)
my $req =
HTTP::Request->new( GET =>
"ftp://weather.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/$weather
+icao" );
$req->header( Accept => "text/html, */*;q=0.1" );
# Now pass that request to the user agent and get a response back
my $res = $ua->request($req);
# Check the outcome of the response
if ( $res->is_success ) {
print "Fetched weather...\n\n";
}
else {
print "Nope, couldn't fetch weather...\n";
exit;
}
my $weather = $res->content;
#Bring on the sunshine!
print "$wthrtext\n\n$weather";
Aaaah, Sunshine ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
