Quoth What XML generators are currently available on PerlMonks?:
An RDF feed for the Monastery. It's a little broken, but it should be easy enough for you to parse with perl. Be warned, your newsreader will probably not like this feed.

    An RDF feed for the Monastery. It's a little broken, but it should be easy enough for you to parse with perl.

    I am using Perl. Specifically with XML::RSS. Besides, broken XML is not XML. This site doesn't use XML, it uses something that happens to look like it.

    "Don't parse XML with an XML parser, use regexes!". I guess it must be very hard to generate correct XML. After all -- and XML barbie concurs -- XML is *hard*!

    I will use an extra Perl script. Not to parse the XML, because that would be extremely silly. But to try to make valid XML from the string I get.

    Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }

      Would you consider sharing the script you're using to re-format the XML?
