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. <?xml version="1.0"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns="http://my.netscape.com/rdf/simple/0.9/"> <channel> <title>Slashdot:News for Nerds.
