Indeed, I had to hack something up myself, I was trying not to modify the XML::RSS anymore than I needed to. I wanted to Sub-class it, but the method I wanted to override is not called as a method. It looks like Ask is slowly OOing the module, but hadn't gotten to that method call.

Some people have submitted patches but no one seems to have submitted patches + tests. I would like to see what you did, and combined with what others have done and my own hacks, maybe we can come up with some patches w/ tests that are acceptable.
