I tried this with your problem area: 

    my $summary; # = $quake->get( "summary");
#   print $summary;
      while ($summary = $quake->get("summary")) {
        $parser->parse_chunk($summary);
      }

and got this error message: junk after document element at line 1, column 601, byte 601 at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/XML/Rules.pm line 933. That is in XML::Rules->sub _parse_or_filter_chunk, and for me it raises the question of whether you need to read chunks at all. The error message I got is from an eval calling parse_more($string). A few line up, near the beginning of the routine, is a line reading     croak "This parser is already busy parsing a full document!"

So the question is have you read in the whole document, and if so is there another method, say parse that should be used instead of parse_chunk?

UPDATE

I tried it again, this way using parse: 


    my $summary = $quake->get( "summary");
    print $summary;
     #while ($summary = $quake->get("summary")) {
        $parser->parse($summary);
     #}
     #my $data = $parser->last_chunk();
     #my $dd = $data->get( "dd");
     #print $dd, "\n";

So I'm still getting the "junk" message, this time from the parse method. Don't know if that's the feed, your code, or my tweaks. But it's sleepy time now
