NAME XML::RSS Version 0.1 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. It adheres to the specification as it appears at: http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/quickstart.html which is actually quite useless since the site doesn't provide a link to grab the official RDF schema. Furthermore, unless someone can prove me wrong, RSS is not really XML, even though the above URL leads you to this conclusion. I say this for 3 reasons: 1. The site states that RSS doesn't support UTF-8, a requirement for well-formed XML. 2. The spec allows any of the HTML entities, but I haven't found and external or internal entity declarations. So, if you put them in, XML::Parser will croak. 3. It doesn't allow CDATA sections. So, if you want to use this module, you must not use any HTML entities. If you have some ideas on how to get around this, please let me know. 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 CREDITS
