in reply to Pulling in an RSS feed for parsing

You can use LWP::Simple to grab the file and send the contents to XMLin(), which can accept a string. 
my $xmlresource = "http://prlmnks.org/rss/458722.xml";
use LWP::Simple;
my $xmlstring = get $xmlresource;
my $feed = $xml->XMLin($xmlstring);

    Both replies were right on. I tried LWP::Simple and it worked like a charm. I did have to drop the OO $xml->. Anyway, big day for this monk.
