NAME Feed::Find - Syndication feed auto-discovery SYNOPSIS use Feed::Find; my @feeds = Feed::Find->find('http://example.com/'); DESCRIPTION *Feed::Find* implements feed auto-discovery for finding syndication feeds, given a URI. It (currently) passes all of the auto-discovery tests at *http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/autodiscovery/*. *Feed::Find* will discover the following feed formats: * RSS 0.91 * RSS 1.0 * RSS 2.0 * Atom USAGE Feed::Find->find($uri) Given a URI *$uri*, use a variety of techniques to find the feeds associated with that page. If *$uri* itself points to a feed (i.e., if the *Content-Type* of the response is a recognized feed type), returns *$uri*. Returns a list of feed URIs. The following techniques are used: 1. ** tag auto-discovery If the page contains any ** tags in the ** section, these tags are examined for recognized feed content types. The following content types are treated as feeds: *application/x.atom+xml*, *application/atom+xml*, *application/xml*, *text/xml*, *application/rss+xml*, and *application/rdf+xml*. 2. Scanning ** tags If the page does not contain any known ** tags, the page is then scanned for ** tags for links to URIs with certain file extensions. The following extensions are treated as feeds: .rss, .xml, and .rdf. Note that this technique is employed only if the first technique returns no results. Feed::Find->find_in_html(\$html [, $base_uri ]) Given a reference to a string *$html* containing an HTML page, uses the same techniques as described above in *find* to find the feeds associated with that page. If you know the URI of the page, you should provide it in *$base_uri*, so that relative links can be properly made absolute. *Feed::Find* will attempt to determine the correct base URI, but unless that URI is specified in the HTML itself (in a "" tag), you'll need to supply it yourself. Returns a list of feed URIs. LICENSE *Feed::Find* is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
