Nice, though you may be interested in the news aggregator program Amphetadesk.
Written in perl for just such news junkies as yourself. ;)

I love Amphetadesk. PerlMonks is one of the only sites I actually visit anymore, everything else I mostly read the feed. No ads, just info. Kind of like a newspaper customized for you. Whoah, sounds kind of like the portal vision of yesteryears, before they filled every nook and cranny with banner ads and popups.	[reply]

Looks neat. I've been using SiteScooper for that sort of thing. Collins Dictionaries use Sitescooper to collect news text for corpus linguistics purposes. Did I need to say that SiteScooper is written in Perl? -- $,="\n";foreach(split('',"\3\3\3c>\0>c\177cc\0~c~``\0cc\177cc")) {$a++;$_=unpack('B8',$_);tr,01,\40#,;$b[$a%6].=$_};print@b,"\n"	[reply]
