love is all around

The latest Text::Microformat is available on CPAN. The biggest change is the addition of hCalendar support, thanks to Franck Cuny. Also there is changed handling (i.e. ignoring) of namespaces. The parser now strips off the namespace prefixes and matches on the local names. This means that the tags <a> and <html:a> and <monkey:a> would be treated the same way. This may seem backwards to XML-heads, but with microformats namespaces are considered harmful.

Enjoy!

Text::Microformat is a Microformat parser for Perl.

More specifically, Text::Microformat is an extensible Microformat-parsing framework, which allows not only new kinds of Microformats to be added, but also extension of the parser itself, so new parsing metaphors and source document encodings could be added.

• Extracting Microformats from entity-encoded or CDATA sections in RSS feeds.
• The include pattern
• Microformats built from other Microformats

• hCard
