No problem.  I know how little things like this can drive you nuts.
Glad I could help!

Cool.. glad to hear its working!  I guess the configure script for
mythweather doesn't properly check for all of the perl dependencies.
I actually wrote a patch to fix this (its on trac somewhere).
Hopefully it will (or some variation of it) will be included in trunk
before the next release.

The current SVN release of MythWeather has at least 3 different
grabbers... so you were probably getting results from one of the
others that didn't have the libxml-simple-perl dependency.
