NAME

       Weather::Com::Finder - finder class to search for weather.com location's

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 "Current Conditions are ",
	     $location->current_conditions()->description(), "
";
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       The usual way to use the Weather::Com module would be to instantiate a Weather::Com::Finder that allows you to search for a location by
       providing a search string or postal code or any other search string that weather.com understands.

       The finder returns an arrayref or an array of locations (depending on how you call the "find()" method). Each location is an object of
       Weather::Com::Location.

CONSTRUCTOR

       new(hash or hashref)

       The constructor takes a configuration hash or hashref as described in the Weather::Com POD. Please refer to that documentation for further
       details.

METHODS

       find(search string)

       Once you've instantiated a finder object, you can perform "find()" calls to search for locations in the weather.com database.

       The "find()" method returns an array of Weather::Com::Location objects if you call it in list context, else an arrayref.

       Returns undef if no matching location could be found.

       See also documentation of Weather::Com and Weather::Com::Location.

NAME

       Weather::Com::Moon - class containing moon phase information

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,
	       'language'   => 'de',
	 );

	 my $weather_finder = Weather::Com::Finder->new(%weatherargs);

	 my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');

	 my $currconditions = $locations[0]->current_conditions();

	 print "The moon phase is currently ",
	   $currconditions->moon()->description(), "
";

DESCRIPTION

       Via Weather::Com::Moon one can access the current moon phase.

       This class will not be updated automatically with each call to one of its methods. You need to call the "moon()" 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 "moon()" method of one cur-
       rent conditions or forecast object.

METHODS

       description([$language])

       Returns a textual description of the current moon phase.

       This description is translated if you specified the language option for you Weather::Com::Finder.

       This attribute is dynamic language enabled.

       icon()

       Returns the number of the icon describing the current moon phase.
