README for XML-RSS-Timing Time-stamp: "2004-01-24 22:12:37 AST" RSS/RDF modules can use the skipHours, skipDays, ttl, and sy:update* elements to express what days/times they won't update, so that RSS/RDF clients can conserve network resources by not bothering to poll a feed more than once during such a period. This Perl module is for taking in the RSS/RDF skipHours, skipDays, ttl, and sy:update* elements' values, and figuring out when they say new content might be available. INSTALLATION You install XML::RSS::Timing et al, as you would install any Perl module library, by running these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If you want to install a private copy of XML::RSS::Timing in your home directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with something like this command: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl See "perldoc perlmodinstall" for more information and advice. This module doesn't depend on XML::RSS, nor in fact have any particular relationship with it.
