Weather::Com::Finder(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Weather::Com::Finder(3pm) 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
