XML::Atom::Feed - parsing at all? RJ Newt 01-20-2008

 I'm trying to parse up a feed but XML::Atom::Feed doesn't seem to
recognize that anything at all is in the XML string I'm feeding to
it. Here's a complete example of how it is not working:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::Atom::Feed;

# variables
my ($xml, $feed, @entries);

# feed example taken directly from RFC 4287
# see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287
$xml = <<'(RAW)';
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

<title>Example Feed</title>
<link href="http://example.org/"/>

<updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated>
<summary>Some text.</summary>
</entry>

</feed>
(RAW)

$feed = XML::Atom::Feed->new($xml);
$feed or die $!;

@entries = $feed->entries();

print 'feed count: ', scalar(@entries), "\n";
print 'version: ', $feed->version, "\n";

Here's the output:
feed count: 0
version:

It appears to have no entries and no version. No errors are
displayed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Your program works for me. Perhaps you don't have the right versions of
the modules that XML::Atom::Feed depends upon.
