Here are a couple of other methods that were inspired by Zaxo:

Method #1

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use CGI qw( :standard );
require 5.8.0;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print start_html;
my $RSS = get("http://thraxil.org/rss");

{
  local $/ = "</item>"; 
  open my $rss, "<", \$RSS or die "Aaiiigh - $!";
  while (<$rss>) {
      my ($title) = m!<title>(.*?)</title>!is;
      my ($link) = m!<link>(.*?)</link>!is;
      my ($desc) = m!<description>(.*?)</description>!is;
      next unless $title && $link && $desc;
      print "Title: $title\nLink: $link\nDescription: $desc\n\n";
  }
  close $rss;
}

Method #2

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use CGI qw( :standard );

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print start_html;
my $RSS = get("http://thraxil.org/rss");

my @items = $RSS =~ m!<item.*?>(.*?)</item>!gis;
for (@items) {
   my ($title) = m!<title>(.*?)</title>!is;
   my ($link) = m!<link>(.*?)</link>!is;
   my ($desc) = m!<description>(.*?)</description>!is;
   next unless $title && $link && $desc;
   print "Title: $title\nLink: $link\nDescription: $desc\n\n";
}

Each of these has its own merits, but if you want to do it right, use a real parser from CPAN. :-)

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

• How do I compose an effective node title?
• How do I post a question effectively?
• Markup in the Monastery

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)

	For:		Use:
	&		&
	<		&lt;
	>		&gt;
	[		&#91;
	]		&#93;

Link using PerlMonks shortcuts! What shortcuts can I use for linking?
