Weather::Com::Units(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Weather::Com::Units(3pm)NAME
Weather::Com::Units - class representing units of measure
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Weather::Com::Finder;
# you have to fill in your ids from weather.com here
my $PartnerId = 'somepartnerid';
my $LicenseKey = 'mylicense';
my %weatherargs = (
'partner_id' => $PartnerId,
'license' => $LicenseKey,
);
my $weather_finder = Weather::Com::Finder->new(%weatherargs);
my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');
print "Speed is messured in ", $locations[0]->units()->speed();
print " for this location.
";
DESCRIPTION
Via Weather::Com::Units one can access the units of measure that correspond to the numeric values used in its parent location object.
This class will not be updated automatically with each call to one of its methods. You need to call the "units()" method of the parent
object again to update your object.
CONSTRUCTOR
You usually would not construct an object of this class yourself. This is implicitely done when you call the "units()" method of one loca-
tion object.
METHODS
distance()
Returns the unit of distance used.
precipitation()
Returns the unit of precipitation used.
pressure()
Returns the unit of barometric pressure used.
speed()
Returns the unit of speed used.
temperature()
Returns the unit of temperature used.

Weather::Com::Location - class representing one location and its weather
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Weather::Com::Finder;
# you have to fill in your ids from weather.com here
my $PartnerId = 'somepartnerid';
my $LicenseKey = 'mylicense';
my %weatherargs = (
'partner_id' => $PartnerId,
'license' => $LicenseKey,
);
my $finder = Weather::Com::Finder->new(%weatherargs);
# if you want an array of locations:
my @locations = $finder->find('Heidelberg');
# or if you prefer an arrayref:
my $locations = $finder->find('Heidelberg');
foreach my $location (@locations) {
print "Found weather for city: ", $location->name(), "
";
print "The city is located at: ", $location->latitude(), "deg N, ",
$location->longitude(), "deg E
";
print "Local time is ", $location->localtime()->time(), "
";
print "Sunrise will be/has been at ", $location->sunrise()->time(), "
";
}
DESCRIPTION
Using Weather::Com::Location objects is the way to access weather (and some location) information for one specific location (city).
You get Weather::Com::Location objects by using a finder object (see Weather::Com::Finder).
Weather::Com::Location is a subclass of Weather::Com::Cached. An instance of this class will update itself corresponding to the caching
rules any time one of its methods is called.
CONSTRUCTOR
new(hash or hashref)
The constructor will usually not be used directly because you get ready to use location objects by using a finder.
If you ever want to instantiate location objects on your own, you have to provide the same configuration hash or hashref to the constructor
you usually would provide to the "new()" method of Weather::Com::Finder. In addition it is necessary to add a hash element "location_id"
to this config hash. The "location_id" has to be a valid weather.com location id.
METHODS
id()
Returns the location id used to instantiate this location.
name()
Returns the name of the location as provided by weather.com.
current_conditions()
Returns a Weather::Com::CurrentConditions object containing the current conditions of the location.
The Weather::Com::CurrentConditions object is instantiated with the first call of the "current_conditions()" method.
Please refer to Weather::Com::CurrentConditions for further details.
forecast()
Returns a Weather::Com::Forecast object.
Please refer to Weather::Com::Forecast for further details.
latitude()
Returns the latitude of the location.
longitude()
Returns the longitude of the location.
localtime()
Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the local time of the location.
This value is evaluated each time you call this method. We do not use the value returned from weather.com here because it does not make any
sence to use a cached value to show the current time.
localtime_ampm()
This method is deprecated and will be removed with the next release!
Returns the local time of the location.
The time is returned in the format "hh:mm [AM|PM]". To get a 24 hour format use "localtime" instead.
Sample: 10:30 PM
sunrise()
Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the time of sunrise.
sunrise_ampm()
This method is deprecated and will be removed with the next release!
Returns the time of sunrise in 12 hour format (see "localtime_ampm()" for details).
sunset()
Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the time of sunset.
sunset_ampm()
This method is deprecated and will be removed with the next release!
Returns the time of sunset in 12 hour format (see "localtime_ampm()" for details).
timezone()
Returns the timezone offset to GMT (without respecting daylight savings time).
units()
Returns a Weather::Com::Units object.
Please refer to Weather::Com::Units for further details.
