This package differs slightly from the Geo::METAR distribution available at CPAN. We've applied several patches to make it easier to use, develop, and test. We are accepting more fixes for the module, and you are free to use these fixes under the same terms as the module itself. Please submit them to the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/libgeo-metar-perl Contributors: Timo Hietanen (#262397) - also grabs the altimeter setting if it's reported in hectopascals (Q\d\d\d\d instead of A\d\d\d\d) - dont's set $self->{MOD} to "AUTO" by default - tries a bit harder not to mix up weather groups with station identifiers - Tries to find the visibility information even though $self->{visibility} isn't defined (information missing from the METAR report). This leads to a couple of warnings about uninitialized variables. A couple of bugs that need fixing, reported by Timo: - Unknown METAR group: RESHRA - Unknown METAR group: R06/P1500UU - Unknown METAR group: VV002 - Unknown METAR group: 6000NE - Unknown METAR group: 24CLRD// - Unknown METAR group: 2419//95 - Interprets R24/0650V1400N R06/0800V1200D as temperature 24, dew point 6 - Convert numerals to numeric (04 -> 4)
