DESCRIPTION

This module reads news items from an RSS feed.

This module uses WebFetch's --source parameter to specify the URL of an RSS feed or a local file containing RSS XML text.

RSS FORMAT

RSS is an XML format defined at http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification

WebFetch::Input::RSS uses Perl's XML::RSS to parse RSS "Really Simple Syndication" version 0.9, 0.91, 1.0 or 2.0, whichever is provided by the server. An optional "--rss_version" command-line parameter or "rss_version" initialization parameter can set the RSS version number for the parser. If not specified, it defaults to RSS 2.0.
