It will hold onto currently parsed feed or keyword 'rss' will return object instance for application use. Using the 'rss_output' command it will first create correct content type and then serialize object into RSS XML for use in route. CONFIGURATION XML:RSS configuration parameters will be taken from your `Dancer' application config file. They should be specified as: plugins: 'XML::RSS': output: '0.9' # output as rss v0.9 See `XML::RSS' for more detail on configuration options. SUBROUTINES/METHODS rss('new') Creates and returns XML::RSS object. It will be setup with any XML::RSS options from configuration file. After first call to rss existing XML::RSS object will be called to force a new object pass 'new' to `rss' 'new' - optional string to force creation of new rss object rss_output Converts XML::RSS object into xml with correct content type and body. Use for returning inside of route.
