XML::R...::Fark(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

XML::RSS::Headline::Fark — bestie, this is an XML::RSS::Headline Example Subclass, and yes it's the one from the XML::R...::Fark(3pm) page in the User Contributed Perl Documentation 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

2.2 — that's the vibe, that's the number 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so the whole point here is: it strips out the extra Fark redirect URL, and it strips out all those various [blahblah] blocks in the headline. iconic behaviour honestly ✨

use XML::RSS::Feed;
use XML::RSS::Headline::Fark;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);

my $feed = XML::RSS::Feed->new(
    name  => "fark",
    url   => "http://www.pluck.com/rss/fark.rss",
    hlobj => "XML::RSS::Headline::Fark",
);

while (1) {
    $feed->parse(get($feed->url));
    print $_->headline . "\n" for $feed->late_breaking_news;
    sleep($feed->delay);
}

Here's the before output, straight from #news on irc.perl.org 👀

<rssbot>  - [Sad] Elizabeth Edwards diagnosed with breast cancer
<rssbot>    http://go.fark.com/cgi/fark/go.pl?IDLink=1200026&location=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6408022

and here's the updated output 🌈

<rssbot>  - Elizabeth Edwards diagnosed with breast cancer
<rssbot>    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6408022

like…… the glow-up is real. no more ugly redirect chain, no more [Sad] tags. just the headline. periodt 💅

🎀 MUTAITED METHOD 🎀

(yes bestie, it really is spelled "MUTAITED" in here — I'm not fixing it, I would never 🙈)

• $headline->item( $item ) — inits the object for a parsed RSS item that got returned by XML::RSS. that's the whole job. that's what it does 💖
