    Heya,

    I use a hacked around version of rss2html.pl to update news headlines on our organizational intranet. Uses XML:RSS and LWP::Simple and weighs in at 63 lines. I found it straightforward to modify may be just what you need.
      Uses XML:RSS ... may be just what you need

      Well, except for the bit about having problems installing XML::RSS :-)

    just getting into RSS parsing
    I want to read this RSS feed
    are two different things for me. Have a look here: XML::RSS.

    XML::RSS::Feed might be for you.

    If you just want to drop something into your webservers cgi-bin, that does read RSS feeds, you might have a look at Tiny Tiny RSS,and if you really want to get into RSS parsing, you could port that to perl, for a start :)

    --shmem
