This script is an example interface to the modules \f(CW\*(C`metaf2xml::parser\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`metaf2xml::XML\*(C'\fR. Messages (per default: \s-1METAR\s0) can be given on the command
line (in single or double quotes) or read from \f(CW\*(C`STDIN\*(C'\fR, one message per line.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`metaf2xml.pl\*(C'\fR expects complete messages, as specified by WMO\-Nr. 306,
without additions or contractions as done for distribution (e.g.
the \s-1SYNOP\s0 section 0 is given only once for several messages,
or a trailing \*(L"=\*(R" (equal sign)).
.PP
It also recognises the keywords \fB\s-1METAR\s0\fR, \fB\s-1TAF\s0\fR, and \fB\s-1SYNOP\s0\fR. If a message
consists only of such a keyword, all messages after it are expected to be of the
corresponding type. The keyword can also be prepended to a message.

The modules \f(CW\*(C`Getopt::Std\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`metaf2xml::parser\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`metaf2xml::XML\*(C'\fR are
