The PERL5LIB/PERLLIB environment variables seem to be different from
the @INC array.  According to your error message, PERL can't find
NWSLocation.pm in @INC.  I've noticed that '.' (i.e. the current
directory) is not in your @INC array.  Try changing your
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/us_nws/nwsxml.pl script to use
this as the header:

#! /usr/bin/perl -w -I./.

This will probably solve the problem for you.  This is usually only
necessary if you run the frontend as root (which you say you don't).
It's odd that the scripts run fine in MythWeb but not the frontend...
