A month later I was able to piece together a commit that seems to have all
the needed changes from master.

https://github.com/pmatis/misterhouse/commit/bbd8f73942cbe304403d953f7c614268c3783fde

There are still some significant unanswered questions in my mind, but
first...

   1. I discovered that the Geo:WeatherNOAA module that I received was
   older than what was in master.
      1. I only added a line for gracefully failing a little early, since
      continuing on is wasted cycles.
      2. The get_weather script was out of date in master, lacking a change
   from 08/17/16 by Rick, but contained a nws_rwr_zone parameter that seems
   to be ignored in this file.
   3. internet_weather.pl was calling "print_current( $parms{city},
$parms{zone}..."
   instead of "print_current( $parms{city}, $parms{state}..." in one copy
   of that file I had. I can't seem to put my eye on it right now, though.

The main thing that I'm questioning is the addition of
'$Pgm_Path/../lib/fallback'
in get_weather. While comparing versions of files that I had, I finally
stumbled upon this difference and noticed that when I removed this from the
path, the forecast was retrieved successfully. I went into the fallback
directory and tried to determine what was in there that was seemingly too
old. I looked into WeatherNOAA.pm to see what it depended on and removed
the 2 LWP modules, then tried again with the entire LWP directory. I moved
on Tie::IxHash, then the entire Tie directory, Text... I was removing huge
chunks of these files and nothing changed the results except removing the
fallback directory from the path.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I missed something. At least for now I
have something that makes master work for me. There's a bunch of commits
that I can cherry pick into my running code and have it work. Anyone else
care to peek at this?

Thanks!
Steve
