Well, I'm using XML::RAI to suck my bookmarks from del.icio.us and store them in a local database. I then have a script to build a list of the most recent 5 bookmarks on my homepage whenever I regenerate the site.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::RAI;
use LWP::Simple;
use SBuilder::DB::Bookmarks; /* This is base Class::DBI */
my $xml = get('http://del.icio.us/rss/dorward');
my $rai = XML::RAI->parse($xml);
foreach my $item ( @{$rai->items} ) {
    my $title = $item->title;
    my $link = $item->link;
    my $isodate = $item->issued;
    my $description = $item->description || '';
    my $db = SBuilder::DB::Bookmarks->find_or_create({link => $link});
    $db->title($title);
    $db->date($isodate);
    $db->description($description);
    $db->update;
}
