This release fixes a a number of bugs thanks mostly
to Chris Nador's efforts.

This is an alpha release because the API has not been
finalized. The module will be available at your local
CPAN archive. Alternatively, try this URL:

http://www.perlxml.com/modules/XML-RSS-0.6.tar.gz

This Perl module provides a basic framework for creating and

maintaining Rich Site Summary (RSS) files. RSS is primarily
used for distributing news headlines, commonly called
channels, and is used primarily on Netscape's Netcenter,
http://my.netscape.com, and Userland Software's
http://my.userland.com.

More information on RSS can be found at:

An article covering the use of the XML::RSS module
is available at http://www.motherofperl.com

John Udell has also written an excellent intro to RSS
which is available at:
