NAME
       Weather::Simple - Simple Wrapper around the Weather::Cached API

SYNOPSIS
         use Data::Dumper;
         use Weather::Simple;

         # define parameters for weather search
         my %params = (
                       'cache'      => '/tmp/weathercache',
                       'partner_id' => 'somepartnerid',
                       'license'    => '12345678',
                       'place'      => 'Heidelberg',
         );

         # instantiate a new weather.com object
         my $simple_weather = Weather::Simple->new(%params);

         my $weather = $simple_weather->get_weather();

         print Dumper($weather);

DESCRIPTION
       Weather::Simple is a very high level wrapper around Weather::Cached.

CONSTRUCTOR
       new(hash or hashref)

       This constructor takes the same hash or hashref as Weather::Cached
       does.  Please refer to that documentation for further details.

       Except from the Weather::Cached' parameters this constructor takes a
       parameter place which defines the location to search for. It is not
       possible to provide the location to search to the get_weather() method!

METHODS
       get_weather()

       This method invokes the Weather::Cached API to fetch some weather
       information and returns an arrayref containing one or many hashrefs
       with some high level weather information.

       If no weather data is found for a location, it returns undef.

SEE ALSO
       See also documentation of Weather::Com and Weather::Cached.
