./envcan.pl -u SI -d /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythWeather/ENVCAN bc-74

(ie remove the -l)

 From the README (in the previous directory):

-l regex -- Returns list of locations matching regex, one per line in the
    format of STRING::STRING, the first string is what will be stored in the
    database and passed to the script.  The second string is used as a display
    string when searching.

So it's doing exactly what you asked it to do...

Good luck with your script and have a nice day!
