get rss feeds from web

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I used the LWP::UserAgent to get the rss feed from a https site. But when I print the content I get only the structure of the web page I dont get the xml content(when I open the rss feed i can see the content). Can you please help me with this?

use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://paypal.com');
$res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) {
print ($res->content);
}

`https://paypal.com/` redirects to `https://www.paypal.com/`. Apparently, there is no RSS feed. No browser I have offers me feeds; and I looked into the document source for RSS or Atom, nothing there. What you need to do is get the exact feed location. Wiki \| CPAN Testers wiki	[reply]
