NAME

XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs - XML::RSS::Headline Example Subclass

SYNOPSIS

You can also subclass XML::RSS::Headline to provide a 'multiline' RSS headline based on additional information inside the RSS Feed. Here is an example for the Perl Jobs (jobs.perl.org) RSS feed by simply passing in the hlobj class name.

    use XML::RSS::Feed;
    use XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs;
    use LWP::Simple qw(get);

    my $feed = XML::RSS::Feed->new(
        url   => "http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.rss",
        hlobj => "XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs",
        name  => "perljobs",
        delay => 60,
    );

    while (1) {
        $feed->parse(get($feed->url));
        print $_->headline . "\n" for $feed->late_breaking_news;
        sleep($feed->delay); 
    }

Here is the output from rssbot on irc.perl.org in channel #news (which uses these modules)
