Hello ,

I am trying to parse a valid xml document using XML::RAI and see that it can identify limited number of fields that i can retrieve. How can i retrieve author or description or replycount fields from the XML document given below. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use XML::RAI;
my $xml=`curl -ksS "https://forums.com/rss.php?forumID=143"`;
$xml =~ s/\15//g;
my $feed = XML::RAI->parse($xml);

for ( reverse (@{$feed->items}) ){
    my $title=$_->title;
    my $date =$_->created ;
    my $date_modified;
    my $url =$_->link ;
    }
