(This is a continuation of this thread) I have a script I've been using to pull down podcasts for several years, and I've just gotten a new computer and I'm having difficulty getting it to work again. I went from Ubuntu 14.04 with perl 5.18 to Ubuntu 17.04 with perl 5.24. I think the only problem I have remaining is that XML::RSS doesn't seem to want to run. cpan says it's installed and up to date, but when the script runs, it outputs:

Line 18, referenced there at the end is:

use XML::RSS;

I've searched online and not found anything that looks like this, and I don't know where to go from here. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've tried using XML::FEED::PARSER::LITE, but it doesn't seem to do what I need, but in principle I have no objections to using another module if you can recommend one
