See the recent discussion Automating an RSS feed. The first post will point you towards a series of articles by merlyn. They're worth a read. There's also an article that brian_d_foy wrote for The Perl Review that you can find here (PDF).	[reply]

I particularly like XML::RSS::Parser. I've used it successfully before to parse RSS feeds. Good luck!	[reply]

One slight danger here. When people talk about "RSS feeds", they probably mean "web feeds" in general rather than RSS feeds specifically. RSS parsers often won't deal with Atom feeds, so you should probably use XML::Feed rather than XML:RSS or XML::Atom. -- See the Copyright notice on my home node.

In the website's html, uri of the corresponding RSS feed may be specified as `<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="?node=section_rss;section=perlquestion;xmlstyle=rss" / +>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You could use XML::Feed's `find_feeds` method. HTH, S.	[reply] [d/l]
