As I say, the identical code looking at identical feeds works fine on another machine, so I don't think it's a problem with the feeds themselves. A minimal version of: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use XML::RSS::Parser;

my $feed = "/home/ross/Downloads/New_Podcasts/archive/GMNV.rss";
my $parser = XML::RSS::Parser->new();
my $rss = $parser->parse_file($feed);
print $rss . "\n";

[download]
gives me: 
$ ./test.pl 
XML::RSS::Parser::Feed=HASH(0x5ba514d23270)

[download]

which is what I'd expect to see, rather than the undef I get from the actual script. Yes, that file is one saved by this script.

Changing it to point at the archived RSS rather than the version stored in memory doesn't fix the problem, though. Something is happening somewhere else that is stopping the parser from reading this file, and I can't see what it might be.
