Atom 1.0 comes to Perl

Timothy Appnel:

I just took the developer's release tag off of the latest version (v0.9) of XML::Atom::Syndication a[nd] put it into CPAN. [… T]his distribution focuses on the Atom syndication format and not the publishing protocol. The publishing protocol is still being worked out and is not an official standard at this time.

100% compliance with the Atom specification is my intention, but it's possible I missed something. The Atom Syndication Format being an official IETF specification is extremely detailed and it is possible I overlooked something during development. If you find any incompatibilities please submit a ticket to the CPAN RT system.

Lastly, if you are interested in Atom development with Perl or looking for assistance with one of these implementations I’ve opened the atomic-perl mailing list here: atomic-perl-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atomic-perl/

Subscribed!

I should also finish my own XML::Atom::SimpleFeed; I was given maintainership when it came time to implement Atom 1.0 support, but haven’t pulled the developer release tag off the new version yet.
