I'm trying to parse RSS feeds with XML::RSS::Parser, and it's mostly working fine, except that I need to be able to pull the content of elements in the itunes namespace and nothing I can think of seems to work.

If I'm trying to read the element itunes:summary (it will be en object of type XML::RSS::Parser::Element), for example, I've tried: 

$summary = $element->query('itunes:summary');
$summary = $element->query('{http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dt
+d}summary');
$summary = $element->query('summary')
$summary = $element->query(process_name('itunes:summary'):
$summary = $element->query(process_name('{http://www.itunes.com/dtds/p
+odcast-1.0.dtd}summary'):

and some other things I don't remember. But everything I try, it ether returns undef or I get told Bad call to match: '<XXX>' contains unknown token.

Does anyone know how this works? Thanks.
