I think the problem might be with perl, not with the mythweather script.
I made a short script copied off the web:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Date::Manip;
print &UnixDate("today","It is now %T on %b %e, %Y.\n");

and when run, it gives:

It is now 00:00:00 on May  3, 2010.

So, the script thinks it is midnight, even though it isn't.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks

Bug description:
Hi,

I'm finding that mythweather only updates the first time I check it.  For subsequent checks on the same day, it only uses the cached value.   I've determined that the problem is that the envcan.pl script for Canada isn't calculating today's time properly, but I don't know perl, and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Further details:

The script command my frontend calls is:  

"nice /usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/ca_envcan/envcan.pl -u SI -d /home/greg/.mythtv/MythWeather/ENVCAN on-118"

which runs without errors.  However, when you look in the file it creates, it says 

2010-05-02T00:15:00 2010-05-02T00:00:00
%results = ('pressure' => '1003','visibility' => '24.1','copyright' => 'Copy$ ...

The first date/time on the first line is supposed to be the time of the next update.  The second date/time is supposed to be the current date/time.  If the current time is less than the next update time, the script uses the cached values.  However, the script always thinks it is midnight, so it uses the cached value since midnight is before 00:15.  Once you reach the next day, the date changes, and it allows another update.

I'm running Mythbuntu 10.04 with all the updates applied.  The version of mythweather I'm using is 0.23.0+fixes24269-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2.
