Well... we are starting to rebuild our public website for the university an=
d we decided to go with Template::Toolkit. Needless to say I am quite pleas=
ed with that decision. :}

As such we are starting to write quite a few Template plugins that others m=
ight have use for. Not sure where exactly to post these but I thought this =
list would be a good place to start.

Hence:
http://wwwrogue.com/perl/Weather-20041214-0.01.tgz

Lets you get and use the current conditions for your local NOAA reporting s=
tation. Also since NOAA has requested a grab time of 1 hour it uses Apache:=
:Cache to hold that data until the next polling time. We are working on add=
ing forecast data as well.

Only prereqs are TT (of course), Apache::Cache, LWP::Simple and XML::Simple=
=2E This was written in a mod_perl2 with Apache::Template environment but s=
hould work in others as I am not using anything deep level in the Apache pe=
rl code.

Have fun... and I would love comments on performance, coding style... you n=
ame it.

Thanks for your time and more to come as we build them!
