README for Mail::Freshmeat Mail::Freshmeat =============== Mail::Freshmeat is a parser for the daily newsletters from <http://freshmeat.net/>. Uses ---- See <http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/computing/fmscore/> for what may be the only sensible application of this module. (Quick summary: fmscore is a Perl5 program which uses Mail::Freshmeat to parse freshmeat daily e-mail newsletters, and then rank them by interest according to highly flexible user-supplied ranking rules. Articles below a specified score will be removed from the output. fmscore is ideal for use as a procmail filter.) Prerequisites ------------- This suite requires Perl 5.005 or higher. Mail::Freshmeat also needs Mail::Internet, newer versions of which require Mail::Header. Installation ------------ See INSTALL. Documentation ------------- POD-format documentation is included in Freshmeat.pm. POD is readable with the 'perldoc' utility.
