Strip out the extra Fark redirect URL and strip out the various [blahblah] blocks in the headline

    use XML::RSS::Feed;
    use XML::RSS::Headline::Fark;
    use LWP::Simple qw(get);

    my $feed = XML::RSS::Feed->new(
	name  => "fark",
	url   => "http://www.pluck.com/rss/fark.rss",
	hlobj => "XML::RSS::Headline::Fark",
    );

    while (1) {
	$feed->parse(get($feed->url));
	print $_->headline . "\n" for $feed->late_breaking_news;
	sleep($feed->delay); 
    }
