# Given an airport site code on the command line, lcdmetar.pl
# fetches the current temperature, wind and clound information,

=head1 NAME
lcdMetar - Fetches METAR Weather information and send it to LCDproc.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<lcdmetar.pl> [I<METAR-Code>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<lcdMetar> is a program to fetch METAR Weather information (e.g.
temperature) from a nearby (or not) airport using Geo::METAR and the
LWP modules.
Given an airport site code on the command line, lcdMetar
fetches the current weather observations,
and displays them via LCDproc (http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/)
=head1 OPTIONS
=item B<METAR-Code>
The METAR code related of the city you want weather observations.
For fun, here are some example METAR codes:
LA : KLAX
Dallas : KDFW
Detroit: KDTW
Chicago: KMDW
Graz/Austria (Thalerhof) : LOWG
Quebec City: CYQB
More informations about METAR codes is available at:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oso/oso1/oso12/metar.htm
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=item Cannot connect to LCDproc port
By default, lcdMetar tries to connect to localhost port 13666. If you get this
error, that means that this is not possible to connect to this port. You can change
the port lcdMetar connects to by modifying the script's variables $host and $port.
=item METAR is too short! Something went wrong.
The METAR data we received is not what we expected, check out NOOA's web site
(http://weather.noaa.gov/) to see if something has changed.
=item Can't connect to METAR source
lcdMetar tried to fetch weather observations from NOAA's web site and failed. It
will retry in 15 minutes.
=head1 REQUIRES
Perl 5.004, Geo::METAR, LWP::Simple;
These are all available on CPAN: http://www.cpan.org/
