I realized that now is a good time to add several RSS channels to my
site algebra.com. One would be for newly submitted unsolved algebra
problems, another would be for newly solver problems, one more for new
user submitted lessons and solvers, and the last one for update
announcements and new features.
Is there anyone who generates automated RSS feeds in perl, and not
from GUI?
Which modules do you use? I am looking at XML::RSS::SimpleGen, it
seems to limit itself to one channel per file. I thought that there
can be more than one channel in an RSS file.

Full Version: Is anyone _generating_ an RSS feed? (maybe John Bokma)
I used XML::RSS perl module and now I have 4 RSS feeds (site_updates,
unsolved_problems, solved_problems, content for content
additions). The feeds are currently empty, and will be fed from an SQL
table that I will populate as content is added or revised.

Glad you solved the problem by now...
I have looked at your site and I wonder if you will find PHP-Nuke useful. It
is surprisingly powerful, much more than WordPress, Drupal and their
relatives that look like toys in comparison. PHP-Nuke has got feeds support
but I wonder if mirating all the text and equations is practical. You did
ask us about WordPress in the past... it is now turning into a CMS towards
the release of version 1.6.

Thanks Roy. I basically went on to create my own CMS that is specific
to math education. It has equation support and different kinds of
content: user submitted math problems and user submitted solutions,
interpreted solvers, lessons, etc. I may use wordpress fot that site
update blog. I was quite impressed with wordpress (I know that you are
involved in it), but I felt that in the long run, my own thing would
be more suitable.
After all, I cannot expect a long term competitive advantage from
downloading a piece of GPLed software. I have to have something
unique.
I will now read about PHP-Nuke.

Yes, I do :-)

None (XML related that is). I just took a working XML feed, and in my
script I print the start, each item and the ending of the file. Not a way I
recommend, but it was a quick hack :-)

Thanks... I ended up using XML::RSS, using RSS v. 1.0. By the way, is
that a good choice of RSS version?
Everything seems to work, but I have not yet advertised the feeds.

The version is not overly significant. It limits the flexibility perhaps,
but you can always extend it to become RSS v. 2+ without changing any
URL's. Feed readers support both equally well and should probably not
reward or rank RSS 2.0 over RSS 0.9.2 or RSS 1.0. It is similar to CSS and
CSS 2. One is a superset of the other and extensions can be made quite
transparently.

Ah, I see. Since I have no idea what are the diffs between 1.0 and
2.0, I will "let it be" for the time being.

I picked 1 I think, because my feed was actually just an experiment (hence
I didn't use the RSS Perl modules, etc) and very bare bone, but sufficient.

You can use a feed validator, see:

Roy has already answered that one :-) (missing tax url IIRC)
