Hey Everyone!

I'm trying to hack together a little tool to help me parse RSS feeds. Basically, the code I currently have takes a keyword(s) and prints the articles that have that word in the title. Here is the code:

use 5.14.2;
use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::RSSLite;
use LWP::Simple;

my @keywords = qw(approach);

my $URL = 'http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/mainsection/rss';
my $content = get($URL);

my %result;
parseRSS(\%result, \$content);

my $re = join "|", @keywords;
$re = qr/\b(?:$re)\b/i;

foreach my $item (@{ $result{items} }) {
  my $title = $item->{title};
  $title =~ s{\s+}{ };  $title =~ s{^\s+}{  }; $title =~ s{\s+$}{  };

  if ($title =~ /$re/) {
    print "$title\n\t$item->{link}\n\n";
  }
}

This gives me the desired effect with one url, but I need to parse ~20 of these and print the articles from all of them.

I attempted to do this by turning $URL into an array (by making it @URL), and changed that variable throughout the code, but that just gave me several errors.

So, my question is, how can I parse multiple RSS feeds in one script and have all of the output formatted the same way into the same file?

--perl.j
