Using RSS News Feeds

rss2html.pl in Action

I've added the following cron jobs that run once per hour on the Webreference server (Scheduler is the NT counterpart):

rss2html.pl http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf > slashdot.html
rss2html.pl http://freshmeat.net/backend/fm.rdf > freshmeat.html
rss2html.pl http://www.linuxtoday.com/backend/my-netscape.rdf > linuxtoday.html
rss2html.pl http://www.xml.com/xml/news.rdf > xmlnews.html
rss2html.pl http://www.perlxml.com/rdf/moperl.rdf > mop.html
