I did some investigative work on my end (dangerous, as I am a programming novice) but I found that to get things going I needed to replace "JSON" with "JSON::XS". I believe there were 4 instances in the plugin.pm file you provided, starting with line 195. I am running LMS 7.8 on Ubuntu 10.04. Getting some errors re: parsing WeatherTomorrow but current conditions are working as are the sports scores.
