Tools version 0.31

RSS/RDF feeds are commonly available ways of distributing the latest news about a given web site for news syndication. This module provides a VERY high level way of manipulating them. You can easily use LWP, the XML::RSS and XML::LibXSLT do to this yourself.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

WARNING: During the install it will try to connect to the Internet to test the HTTP toolchain.

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires these other non-core modules for full functionality:

XML::LibXSLT XML::LibXML
XML::RSS
URI
LWP or HTTP::GHTTP or HTTP::Lite or WWW::Curl::Easy

XML::RSS older versions than version 1.0 have a number of defects and limitations, please upgrade if possible.

XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT rely on the GNOME libxml2 and libxslt libraries which need to be installed before attempting to install the Perl modules. XML Catalog support in certain versions of XML::LibXML may be broken if you are unable to use Catalogs please let me know so that I can better document the module.

Please be aware that the API to the URI module changed, at version 1.32, and hence how you use the file scheme changed, see the URI changelog for more details.

OLDER VERSIONS

To keep CPAN trim, older versions of this module will be continually culled as newer versions are loaded. Older versions are available upon request.
