This thing was broken since about January 2004, when it would complain
"500 LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: Bad hostname 'weather.noaa.gov' at
/usr/share/gkrellm/GrabWeather line 49."
I finally took the time to look into it and someone on google
mentioned it was dying on passive ftp. He was right. The suggestion
he offered was:
$ENV{FTP_PASSIVE} = 1;
Not wishing to rely on that, I looked further down and noticed:
my $cmd = qq{wget --proxy=off --passive-ftp --tries=0 --quiet } .
I deleted "--passive-ftp" from there, and now it's working as
advertised. This is GKrellWeather 0.2.7, GKrellm 1.2.10-1, in woody.
