Geo-ReadGRIB ============ Geo::ReadGRIB is an Perl module that provides read access to data distributed in GRIB files. Specifically, I wrote it to access NOAA Wavewatch III marine weather model forecasts. As of version 0.98_1 Geo::ReadGRIB is known to support Canadian Meteorological Center's GEM model GRIB files. It may support many other GRIB variants which use a rectangular lat/long grid but they have not been tested. Please notify the maintainers and let them know if it does or doesn't support your files. wgrib.c Geo::ReadGRIB uses the C program wgrib to retrieve the GRIB file catalog and to extract the data. wgrib.c is included in the distribution and will compile when you make the module. The resulting executable is named wgrib.exe and should install in the same location as ReadGRIB.pm. ReadGRIB.pm will search for wgrib.exe at run time and die if it can't find it. wgrib.c is known to compile and install correctly with Geo::ReadGRIB on all common platforms where gcc is used. See the CPAN Testers reports for this module for details.
