So, instead, we'll need to parse the RSS feed and return the # first comic from the feed (which will have the proper URL). my $feedurl = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/LICD'; my $response = $self->_new_agent->get($feedurl); if ($response->is_success) { my $rss = XML::Simple::XMLin($response->content); if (!$rss) { carp "Failed to parse RSS feed"; return; } item: for my $item (@{ $rss->{channel}->{item} }) { next item if $item->{category} ne 'Comic'; if (my($id) = $item->{guid}->{content} =~ m{comic/([0-9]+)$}) { # bingo, found the first comic listed in the feed: return "$stripstub/$id.gif"; } } # we should not get here in normal operation: carp "Failed to find comics in RSS feed"; return; } else { carp "Failed to fetch $feedurl - " . $response->status_line; return; } } =back =head1 AUTHOR David Precious, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
