README for Aviation::Report 1.01 Decoding Aviation Weather Information with Perl. Copyright (c) 1997-98, James Briggs <71022.3700@compuserve.com> Background This is the README file for Aviation::Report. The current version is 1.01. It was released on Oct 6, 1998. When you find bugs, I'd appreciate a mail message to let me know what's wrong. Aviation::Report as been developed and tested on Linux as well as Windows NT using the "native" port of Perl. U.S. Aviation METAR, TAF and PIREP textual reports are translated into plain English. Some effort is made to translate the remarks fields of METAR and TAF reports. Installation Installing Aviation::Report is an easy process. % perl Makefile.PL % make % make test % make install Documentation The documentation is built-in to the Report module in POD format. You can use any of the pod2* converters to translate it to a more readable format. The three most common formats are 'man', 'html', and 'text'. See Also Jeremy Zawodny has an OO module called METAR.pm that builds an internal data structure of non-remarks tokens.
