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

We are accepting more fixes for the module, and you are free to use these

12
- also grabs the altimeter setting if it's reported in hectopascals (Q\d\d\d\d instead of A\d\d\d\d)
13
- dont's set $self->{MOD} to "AUTO" by default
14
- tries a bit harder not to mix up weather groups with station identifiers
15
- recognizes the visibility setting "CAVOK" (ceiling and visibility OK)
16
- Doesn't recognize the METAR tag dddVddd (d = digit), which defines wind direction's variation.
17
- Assumes that station ID begins with the letter 'K' (matches /K[A-Z]{3,3}/), while it should match /[A-Z]{4,4}/
18
- Tries to find the visibility information even though $self->{visibility} isn't defined (information
19
missing from the METAR report). This leads to a couple of warnings about uninitalized variables.
