Nice Snippet, I really should get into LWP::Simple. One thing I noticed though. 
(reverse sort {$a <=> $b }keys %node)[0..9]

Can be achived without the explicit reverse just by changing the order of $a and $b in the sort subroutine. 
(sort {$b <=> $a }keys %node)[0..9]

Sorry to be pedantic, it was bugging me :)

    Yeah, but we can throw most of that snippet out the window now, as Vroom has told me about http://perlmonks.org/headlines.rdf

    So here is the rewritten snippet. (Note that it now retrieves 12 headlines instead of 10. Or how many ever Vroom decides to put into headlines.rdf) 

    use LWP::Simple;
$/ = undef;
my $slurp = get("http://www.perlmonks.org/headlines.rdf");
push @node, [$1,$2]
  while $slurp =~ /<item>\s*<title\s*>([^<]*)<\/title>\s*<link\s*>([^<
+]*)/gio;
print map { "<a href=\"$_->[1]\">$_->[0]</a>\n" } @node;
