I had that problem too, but all I had to do to get it to work was 
install the required perl modules.

The page here shows all the mods:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythWeather

at a command prompt type:

cpan

Then answer all its questions (if you've never set it up before).

Then at the cpan> prompt just type:

install Image::Size


etc, for all the packages.  Some you'll already have, others not.

you can check the scripts from the commandline:

cd /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/us_nws/
perl -c maps.pl
maps.pl syntax OK
