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, 'language' => 'de', );

my $weather_finder = Weather::Com::Finder->new(%weatherargs);

my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');

my $currconditions = $locations[0]->current_conditions();

print "Wind comes from ", $currconditions->wind()->direction_long(), "\n"; print "and its speed is", $currconditions->wind()->speed(), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

Via Weather::Com::Wind one can access speed and direction (in degrees, short and long textual description) of the wind. Wind is usually an object belonging to current conditions or to a forecast (not implemented yet).

This class will not be updated automatically with each call to one of its methods. You need to call the \*(C`wind()\*(C' method of the parent object again to update your object.

CONSTRUCTOR

You usually would not construct an object of this class yourself. This is implicitely done when you call the \*(C`wind()\*(C' method of one current conditions or forecast object.
