Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello everyone, I'm trying to have the links posted in my del.icio.us account appear in my webpage.
There are many nice ways to do this this (catalogued here, skip to "User-Contributed Hacks"), but for one reason or the other, the only one that seems to work in my case is one that basically scrapes the URLs and titles from the auto-generated RSS feed that each del.icio.us account has (for example, this account has this RSS feed).
The job is done by this perl script (further description of it here). I don't have a clue when it comes to Perl, but could it be possible to alter this script so that it process the description tag too, and put it inside parentheses, like this:
<a href="link-of-item">title-of-item</a> (description-of-item)
instead of the current
<a href="link-of-item">title-of-item</a>
If someone could code a script to do this job, I'd appreciate it immensely. Thank you very much for your help, in advance.
