RE: Generate an RSS file of...

An RSS file does exist, actually... http://www.perlmonks.org/headlines.rdf.

It doesn't have the whole newest nodes page. It just seems to have new nodes (not notes/replies).

I agree w/ you--personally, I'd love to see the RSS file expanded upon. Perhaps create one for each area, let people configure it a bit, etc.

And so there is! Well, to extend on this... How about allowing users to define their own RSS file based on the sections they choose. For example, I may be interested in Snippets and SoPW, so I can choose to see new nodes in these sections. Then, a custom RSS could be created for me to use. There would be a few ways to get this done, text files, or maybe generated dynamically by a CGI script. Just an extended thought.. Cheers, KM	[reply]

As long as enough information is provided in the RSS, the `DBD::RAM` module can be used to fetch the data and then provide a DBI query against it (full SQL!) in short order.	[reply]
