On blogs, you have an RSS Feed.
In the heading of the page (usually the homepage) there is this:
Note: there is no way of knowing the exact name of the feed, from the site url alone. It has to be found.
Using Perl
Is there a simple way to find the above tag, then extract the URL of the feed from the href?
Preferably without having to use any modules.
I haven't got the remotest clue how to do this.
I will have the URL of a blog, so no problem on that score. Once I have the URL of the feed, I'm okay from there.
I sure hope someone can help, thanks.
