PierreForget has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi,
In an Atom feed, I am trying to extract parts of the posts. Meaning here, the first 50 words of each post.
I am able to extract easily the standard stuff with XML::Feed, like "author", "link", "published" or "title".
If I use "content", I get nothing. If I could get "content" extracted, I could manage to get what I want.
Or if I use "name", which is a sub element of "author", I also get nothing.
I was thinking of putting in the blog (from Blogger) some tags like this (in the post HTML edit):
<extract>text to extract</extract>
But I can't find a way to do it, unless rewriting the code from Feed.pm
Is there a simple way, if I can call it like that?
The Atom feed is from blogger:

Thanks in advance
