Apologies for this newbie question. We have inherited an IBM p5 520 (9111-520) running AIX 6.1.0.0 which seems to be the base install and no further patches installed. Is this vulnerable to the Spectre/Meltdown threat? Are patches available? Looks like AIX 6.1.0.0 went 'end of support' in...

NAME

       Template::Plugin::XML::RSS - Plugin interface to XML::RSS

SYNOPSIS

	   [% USE news = XML.RSS('news.rdf') %]

	   [% FOREACH item IN news.items %]
	      [% item.title %]
	      [% item.link  %]
	   [% END %]

DESCRIPTION

       This Template Toolkit plugin provides a simple interface to the XML::RSS module.

	   [% USE news = XML.RSS('mysite.rdf') %]

       It creates an XML::RSS object, which is then used to parse the RSS file specified as a parameter in the USE directive.  A reference to the
       XML::RSS object is then returned.

       An RSS (Rich Site Summary) file is typically used to store short news 'headlines' describing different links within a site.  This example
       is extracted from http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf.

       The attributes of the channel and image elements can be retrieved directly from the plugin object using the familiar dotted compound nota-
       tion:

	   [% news.channel.title  %]
	   [% news.channel.link   %]
	   [% news.channel.etc... %]

	   [% news.image.title	  %]
	   [% news.image.url	  %]
	   [% news.image.link	  %]
	   [% news.image.etc...   %]

       The list of news items can be retrieved using the 'items' method:

	   [% FOREACH item IN news.items %]
	      [% item.title %]
	      [% item.link  %]
	   [% END %]
