    while ($line =~ /<title>(.*?)<\/title>\n\t\t<link>(.*?)<\/link>\n\
+t\t<pubDate>(.*?)<\/pubDate>\n\t\t<dc:creator>(.*?)<\/dc:creator>\n\t
+\t\n\t\t<category>(.*?)<\/category>/i) {
        $line =~ s/(<title>(.*?)<\/title>\n\t\t<link>(.*?)<\/link>\n\t
+\t<pubDate>(.*?)<\/pubDate>\n\t\t<dc\:creator>(.*?)<\/dc\:creator>\n\
