Here's a step by step example of incorporating an RSS news feed from www.craigslist.org into a
web page on our site where RSS headlines for jobs postings for web page designers, perl
programmers, web graphics designers, and online systems engineers.
To show what can be done with perl and RSS, we consolidate and re-distribute only the
craigslist. ("CL"), job postings for telecommute, off-site, remote systems management or
other online work. We filter out any listings for in-house or on-site positions.
- First we create a page to display the RSS News Feed Demo.
- We fetch the RSS feed from the Boston.Craigslist.org "Web / HTML / Info Design" Jobs area.
- Next we'll grab a free CGI script off the web to do some of the RSS / XML parsing.
A free perl script written by Jonathan Eisenzopf: rss2html.pl, will do the trick.
