Comment:

 Anyone want to suggest an alternative to splitting the modules from the
 rest of the scripts? Do the modules have to be in @INC or even modules?
 (been a while since I touched perl so my memory is hazy)

 As a last resort it's ok, but if possible I'd like to preserve the
 simplicity of adding new grabbers to mythweather. The idea is that users
 can just extract a new grabber to the scripts directory on the system and
 it's instantly available to mythweather without the need for a new install
 or upgrade. If files have to be installed in different places then it
 starts to get complicated.

 In the future I hope to have mythweather download new scripts and updates
 automatically from the mythtv.org website. If we have to install modules
 to @INC that's going to be pretty difficult since in most cases users
 won't have permission to write to those paths.
