I've not used these modules, but from looking at them, my $feed = XML::FeedPP->new( $source ); creates a feed object and $parser->parse( $feed ); parses a string or IOhandle. Therefore, you are getting an error because you are giving the parser something unexpected.

Converting the feed object to a string solves your issue:

my $atom = $feed->to_string();
$parser->parse( $atom );
