Mail newest nodes

[Beatnik]

This code basically grabs the Newest Nodes XML, grabs each node and mails it...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::Parser;
use LWP::Simple;
use MIME::Lite;

my $parser = new XML::Parser ( Handlers => { Start => \&hdl_start, Cha
+r => \&hdl_char});

my $id = undef;
my %Nodes = ();
my $type = undef;
my $xml_stream = get("http://perlmonks.com/index.pl?node=newest+nodes+
+xml+generator");
$parser->parse($xml_stream);

foreach my $key (keys %Nodes)
{ my $page = get("http://perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=$key");
  my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                     From    =>'[e-mail]',
                     To      =>'[e-mail]',
                     Subject => "Perlmonks Node $Nodes{$key}",
                     Data    => "Perlmonks Newest Nodes"
                     );

        $msg->attach(Type     =>'text/html',
                     Data     =>$page);

$msg->send; 
print "Sending part $Nodes{$key}\n";
}

sub hdl_start{
    my ($p, $elt, %atts) = @_;
    $type = $elt;
    if ($type eq "NODE") { $id = $atts{node_id}; }
}

sub hdl_char {
    my ($p, $str) = @_;
    $str =~ s/\n//g;
    if ($type eq "NODE" && $str) { 
    #print $id," => ",$str,"\n"; 
    $Nodes{$id} = $str;  }
     }

Todo:

• Skip duplicate nodes

Ofcourse this could be used as base for an NNTP link...
