CGI::RSS - provides a CGI-like interface for making rss feeds
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use strict;

print $rss->header;
print $rss->begin_rss(
title => "My Feed!",
link => "http://localhost/directory",
desc => "My feed is cool!");
while( my $h = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
print $rss->item(
$rss->title ( $h->{title} ),
$rss->link ( $h->{link} ),
$rss->guid ( $h->{link} ), # unique identifier, usually
$rss->description ( $h->{desc} ), # a permalink
$rss->date ( $h->{date} ), # does rfc822 date processing
);
}
print $rss->finish_rss;

=head1 TODO
I just wanted to get this thing working for now, but I'm not proud of the
module. In the future, I'd like to actually follow a standard.
1. conform to standard(s) if possible
2. deal with xmlns somehow

I am using this software in my own projects... If you find bugs, please please
please let me know. :) Actually, let me know if you find it handy at all. Half
the fun of releasing this stuff is knowing that people use it.
