Perlpod update

I have been using a perl script I got here to get my BBC podcasts, and Java Posse broadcasts. Until recently, that is…

Anyway, I hacked the script, to remove carriage returns out, so the url in the enclosure (that’s the mp3) is again being fetched. Find it perlpod here. md5sum for the file is:

  • a92ab255816bf32db4facf9f63bc34fb perlpod.pl

    Don’t expect any fitness for purpose; it just works for me.

    P.S. the script still suffers from the same ‘features’ as it did before. It looks in the current directory for a ‘.feeds’ file, and again dumps enclosures in the podcasts directory. Each line in .feeds is a url.

    If you are interested in the script, claim owership, whatever relating to it: let me know at:

  • perlpod at ekers dot idps dot co dot uk.

    1. Hi Jem – the Podcasting news URL gives a 404, sadly.

      Does the perl script actually download the mp3’s locally, in the .feed directory?

      Cheers,

    2. The perl script reads URLs from the .feeds file, and places them in ./podcasts/ sub-directory. Each podcast has it’s own directory under podcasts.
