I've always heard that meringue will weep if it's not sealed at the edges of the pie...in other words, make sure it touches the crust all around so there are no gaps between the rim of the pie and the meringue. I've always done that and don't get weepy meringue.

I've never had one fall but they ALWAYS weep no matter how good I seal it, cook it, beat it or what recipe I use!

You might try this one:
Never Fail Meringue
1 Tbsp corn starch moistened in 2 Tbsp cold water. Stir into 1/2 c boiling water; stir and cook until thick and clear (a few minutes). Cool. Beat 3 egg whites until stiff; gradually add 6 Tbsp sugar, one Tbsp at a time and a few grains of salt. Beat in the cooked and cooled cornstarch mixture and beat until it will stand in peaks. Brown in oven as usual.
