I wrote 'Best RSS modules and techniques?' last year and didn't get much new insight from the answers. But maybe someone has come up with something since then. You might look at Plagger and see how it does it. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain. It is provided as is with no warranties, express or implied, of any kind.

I discovered the XML::RSS::Feed and was extremely impressed. It has a built-in caching mechanism and handles standard RSS feeds really well. It is also built for sub-classing on custom feeds like the examples enclosed in the build and the XML::RSS::Headline::PerlMonks which took about 15 minutes to customize for the PerlMonks feed.

I've always been happy with XML::RSS - I've been using it (most often via Template::Plugin::XML::RSS) for years. What problems do the newer modules solve that this one doesn't? -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

Last time I used XML::RSSLite for reading regular rss feeds plus XML::RSS::Parser to generate an extra feed. just another cpan module author	[reply]

I'm new to Perl and was looking for something to grab headlines from an RSS feed to put into a .txt file. The text is read into a ticker across a video screen in stores. Found this: http://hail2u.net/rss/perlscripts/rss2txt.pl. Works really well for me.	[reply]

Thank you all for your excellent insight, ladies and gentlemonks. I'm going to have lots of fun testing out all of your suggestions. =D -- Tommy	[reply]
