You can use XML::LibXML::XPathContext to register the namespace as follows:

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::LibXML;
use XML::LibXML::XPathContext;

# load the XML doc
my $p = XML::LibXML->new;
my $xml_file = do { local $/; <DATA> };
my $dom = $p->parse_string( $xml_file );

# register the namespace
my $xc = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new( $dom );
$xc->registerNs('ns', 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom');

# select using XPath
my @nodes = $xc->findnodes( '/ns:feed/ns:entry');
print $_->toString for @nodes;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
