I suspect this may be related to a change in the format of CAP alerts from NOAA, but can't be sure. This past week, when I pass a list of zones to this module, if there are no alerts for any zone, the script returns the error message: "Can't call method "children" on an undefined value at c:/perl/site/lib/Weather/N OAA/Alert.pm line 442." I first noticed the error on Monday, July 9. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

This problem is caused by changes to the format of the ATOM file <link> element when there are "no watches, warnings, or alerts". Unfortunately the current ATOM format is ambiguous when there are no published events. I've replicated this error and have tested a fix that might be a little less fragile. I'll be releasing a new version soon with the changes. In the meanwhile you could make the following one line change to Alert.pm: 343c343 < if( $capId eq $atomURL) { --- Show quoted text
> if( !defined($atomItem->first_child('cap:event'))) {
