Installing

Current version: 0.7

Note: this step can be skipped if you’re using the gem.

Copy files to a directory in your PATH. I recommend /usr/local/bin. This will make the commands accessible by just typing the name of it. Be sure to give them permissions (755 should be fine).

Weather

Yweather is recommended for this. Because Yweather creates a local copy of the weather from Yahoo, it needs write permissions. Please place the script somewhere it can do this (ie, /Users/nic/bin/yweather.pl)

Yweather is not included in this package, but you can download it from Google Code. Please read the help file when using this script. I did not write it and will not provide support for it.
