Hello neilwatson,

Why does this code not return feed titles or URLs?

If you look at the XML for one of the feeds in a browser, you’ll see that the feed title is not part of an <entry>...</entry> element. To access it, use this:

my  $feed = XML::Feed->parse(URI->new($url))
    or die "Feed error with [$url] " . XML::Feed->errstr;

print 'Feed title is ', $feed->title, "\n";    # ADD THIS LINE

Output:

14:12 >perl 1305_SoPW.pl

>>>> Getting atom url for [https://dev.cfengine.com/projects/core/acti
+vity.atom] records newer than [6000]min at 1305_SoPW.pl line 37.
Feed title is CFEngine 3 Community Edition: Activity
$VAR1 = bless( {
...

I don’t know what URLs you’re looking for. But the XML::Feed module has an example script named check_feed.pl which you might find useful as a guide.

BTW, in this:

my $args = ({});
$args->{debug} = 1;

the parentheses are unnecessary, and you can save a line by writing just:

my $args = { debug => 1 };

Hope that helps,
