Some time ago I compiled epw2wea in Mac... it was done without any consent,
so I have not shared it. I also modified it in order to make an epw2daymtx
program. Are you interested on that program, Rob?

> Dear devs,

> I have put up a work-in-progress version of epw2wea:

> http://www.jaloxa.eu/pickup/epw2wea.pl

> The output is almost identical to the Windows version of epw2wea.exe. I am

> There are three minor differences to the original Windows version:

> tab on the command line.

> b) the 'meridian' bug of the original epw2wea is fixed. Places such as
> Delhi (GMT + 5:30 hrs) or Kathmandu (GMT +5:45 hrs) are correctly
> represented in the time_zone row of the wea header.

> c) input can be from STDIN

> epw2wea.pl is tested on LINUX and Windows Vista.
