Parsing RSS with Perl

onaje — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:45:59 -0400

This is based on a script provided in the 'Add RSS feeds to your Web site with Perl XML::RSS' from
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-6228_11-5487340.html

In the original script, it was assumed that the rss news feed would be located on your server. To get
around this limitation, use LWP to get the contents of a remote file, save it to a file on your server
then parse the file.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w #use strict;


use XML::RSS;

use LWP::Simple;

#use Data::Dumper;
my $r = new XML::RSS;
$r->parse( get 'http://onaje.com/rss.xml' );
