You are reading the RSS definition incorrectly. guid is a globally unique identifier (glossary). Images in an rss feed are stored in an <image> element, which is a peer to the <item> element. See, for example Yahoo news' RSS feed (xml document).

An example from the docs:

 use XML::RSS;
 my $rss = new XML::RSS (version => '2.0');
 $rss->channel(title          => 'freshmeat.net',
          link           => 'http://freshmeat.net',         
          description    => 'the one-stop-shop for all your software n
+eeds',
          );

 $rss->image(title       => 'freshmeat.net',
             url         => 'http://freshmeat.net/images/fm.mini.jpg',
             link        => 'http://freshmeat.net',
             width       => 88,
             height      => 31,
             description => 'This is the Freshmeat image stupid'
             );

 $rss->add_item(title => "GTKeyboard 0.85",
        # creates a guid field with permaLink=true
        permaLink  => "http://freshmeat.net/news/1999/06/21/930003829.
+html",
        # alternately creates a guid field with permaLink=false
        # guid     => "gtkeyboard-0.85
        enclosure   => { url=>$url, type=>"application/x-bittorrent" }
+,
        description => 'blah blah'
);

Sorry for the bad question. I wanted to have a picture in every item, but I figured it out.

If you add something like this to the description it works:

<img src=" (image link) " border="0" />

So I see I misunderstood where the link that actually insert the pictures in the items where on the feed I looked at.

Thanks for the help
