CIS2279 Homework Assignment #05

Due Friday, Oct 3, 2008

All files created must be saved in your class directory /mnt/homes/CLASSES/CIS2279/<username> (4 points each)

Create a perl script named lab05.pl in your user directory. The script must perform the following:
1. Test for the existance of the file /mnt/homes/CLASSES/CIS2279/LAB05/logger.csv and open it for reading (if it exists).
2. As you loop through the file, skip data using next for any day less than julian day 067.
3. For each line in the file for day 067 calculate the wind chill for each set of readings for day 067 where the wind speed is greater than 0mph.
4. Determine the lowest windchill value for the day 067.
5. Stop reading data from the file once data for day 068 is encountered (use last).
6. Print out the lowest windchill value to the screen in both Fahrenheit and Celcius with some descriptive text.
Wind Chill (F) = 35.74 + 0.6215(T) - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275(T)(V^0.16)
Where T = temperature in degrees F and V = wind velocity in MPH.
Celcius = (TempF - 32)/1.8
