Thank you for helping to improve Ubuntu by opening this ticket.  I'm
marking this ticket as high because of the potential widespread chaos it
could cause across a wide range of possible applications.  And that's
even ignoring that 10.04 is an LTS.

Using your short script, I verified that the correct date is provided by
9.10, which uses libdate-manip-perl (5.54-1) rather than 6.05-1.  I see
some comments in the 6.07-2 notes that hint at fixing a similar problem.

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.
