Re: Re: Perl Job Board

I don't know about the low/no maintenance part. I just tried to check the RSS page you cited and got an error page. It seems XML didn't like a question mark. An RSS feed might not be as easy as you think.

Perl has one Great Advantage and one Great Disadvantage:

It is very easy to write a complex and powerful program in three lines of code.

Funny - maybe it was just a temporary glitch. The following code works nicely for me (as a proof of concept). `use YAML; use XML::Simple; use LWP::UserAgent; print Dump( XMLin( LWP::UserAgent->new->get( "http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.rss" )->content() ) );` [download] Maybe you just bumped into an update glitch or something similar. Still you're right - there will no doubt be some unexpected things that need to be taken into account. --`tidiness is the memory loss of environmental mnemonics`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

use YAML;
use XML::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;

print Dump(
  XMLin(
    LWP::UserAgent->new->get(
      "http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.rss"
    )->content()
  )
);
