Re: Checking the Weather

[Thelonius]

If you already have LWP::Simple installed:

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
my $content = get("http://www.weather.com/weather/local/12986?");
die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;
my $weather;
if ($content =~ m!<B CLASS=obsTextA>([^<]*)</B>!) {
  $weather = $1;
} else {
  die "Can't find weather on page!\n";
}
print "weather = $weather\n";
