Since I now have friends with blogs that only support Atom feeds, I’ve taught my news collector a new trick, which took about a half-hour of research and four lines of code.
I’m thinking this will be a fun little script to mark up and put online here as a demonstration of how Perl can be used to make life easier. It isn’t complicated, terribly efficient, or following many of the “thou shalt write code this way” standards, but it does exactly what I want, and has taken a grand total of maybe 1.5 hours of development time since last April or May, while saving me far more time that would have been spent clicking and being subjected to advertising. I win. :-)
