This module provides a basic framework for creating and maintaining RDF Site Summary (RSS) files. This distribution also contains many examples that allow you to generate HTML from an RSS, convert between 0.9, 0.91, and 1.0 version, and other nifty things. This might be helpful if you want to include news feeds on your Web site from sources like Slashot and Freshmeat or if you want to syndicate your own content.
XML::RSS currently supports 0.9, 0.91, and 1.0 versions of RSS.
RSS was originally developed by Netscape as the format for Netscape Netcenter channels, however, many Web sites have since adopted it as a simple syndication format. With the advent of RSS 1.0, users are now able to syndication many different kinds of content including news headlines, threaded measages, products catalogs, etc.
New in version 1.x: added initial RSS 2.0 support; first fix to properly encode special characters in output; and the parse and parsefile routines now automatically add non-standard namespace to the modules. See the changes file for full details.
