Atom

I've made all the feeds on use.perl.org provide Atom as an alternative. If you have a feed, look for "rss" in the string and change it to "atom". It should work. Let me know any problems you find.

Lovely! It works well and has made my Planet use Perl; feed rather easy to generate. (Mixing RDF documents is a hassle, and so is generating Atom from RDF. With the new format I can simply copy things thru.)

There’s one thing that bugs me, though: the journal feeds are fulltext, which would suggest using content elements. You put the content in a summary instead, which is intended for cases where the provided content is partial and the reader is expected to visit the alternate location to get the full content.

There is not yet support in the code for distinguishing between content and summary, so Sam Ruby recommended using summary for now.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.
