NAME XML::RSS Version 0.5 DESCRIPTION This module was created to help those who need to manage RDF Site Summary (RSS) files. It makes quick work of creating, updating, and saving RSS files. XML::RSS currently supports both version 0.9 and 0.91 of RSS. See http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/mnn20/quickstart.html for information on RSS 0.91. See http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/ for RSS 0.9. Feel free to contact me at eisen@pobox.com if you have problems and/or suggestions. REQUIREMENTS This module requires version 2.23 or greater of the XML::Parser module. The latest version is available at any CPAN archive. INSTALLATION perl Makefile.PL make make install LIMITATIONS -XML::RSS doesn't yet validate that the required elements exist before it generates the RSS file. -Ignores the encoding defined in the XML declaration when using parse() or parsefile(). This is not intentional, I just haven't been able to get it to work yet. -Same problem with the RSS version attribute as with encoding. TROUBLESHOOTING -If you get an error when using the parse() or parsefile() methods, your RSS file is probably not valid XML. You must be sure to encode all XML default entities.
