Hello all. I have a client with a Flash-based website custom made to pull its content in from a database. The client also has a Blogger account. I am attempting to write a script with Perl to grab the three newest posts, along with a 150 character max description and a link, and have this thrown into the database to be shown in Flash. I can do 90% of it, except the scrape. I checked CPAN and it seems XML::FeedLite is what I want to use, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else done RSS scraping with Perl that may have a few pointers? Thanks in advance
