My vanity website reads various RSS feeds, displaying a preview of their content. I use HTML::TokeParser to break apart the HTML inside the RSS feed. One RSS feed is from my sports BLOG, but a recent change (the BLOG moved from one site to another) started causing the preview text to be blank.
I spend a lot of time in the DOS Command Window. And I spend a lot of time being curious about my Windows PATH. Examining the directories in your PATH can be a demoralizing exercise, but a Perl one-liner makes reading it very manageable.
In the previous post, I showed how WWW::Mechanize and HTML::TokeParser can grab content from a website, and parse that content to produce the information required for an RSS feed. So how do I make a feed with all that?
In the previous part, I showed the main loop to grab the "interesting bits" from the HTML of my Sporting News' BLOG. Let me dig into this a little more.
