You can also use Net::Telnet to check the weather from wunderground.com (they have a telnet interface which is all text). Here is the example from the Net::Telnet documentation which does just that:
my ($forecast, $t);
use Net::Telnet ();
$t = new Net::Telnet;
$t->open("rainmaker.wunderground.com");
## Wait for first prompt and "hit return".
$t->waitfor('/continue:.*$/');
$t->print("");
## Wait for second prompt and respond with city code.
$t->waitfor('/city code.*$/');
$t->print("BRD");
## Read and print the first page of forecast.
($forecast) = $t->waitfor('/[ \t]+press return to continue/i');
print $forecast;
exit;
The only problem with this telnet interface is that they do not have Tupper Lake, NY as a location you can get info on. They have several location throughout NY that may or may not be nearby.
Update: Fixed a copy/paste error in the code segment above.
