The output that was found for each RSS feed must be a stored in a separate output file. If there are 20 RSS feeds listed in the input text file, there must be 20 RSS output files. Empty files should be created for empty RSS feeds or for error conditions. The output file must be named with the RSS feed code. The specified fields in a record must be separated by tab characters This script must be in professionally-prepared Perl. No other languages or solutions will be considered.

Dear Sir, Thank you for your very interesting project. I am a Perl programmer with database and system administration experience. I am specialized on back-end projects and some of my recent projects includes: - API implementation for Constellation Brands. Read the brands info and recreate store based XML files (10k+ stores) - API implementation for [login to view URL], Musicbrainz, Echonest, iTunes. I retrieved data (XML & JSON), correlated and created complex artists and songs profiles (millions of records). This was the back end for an iPhone application. - API implementation for PredatorBarrier: mixture of XML and HTML parsing to gather data. Combine 100k school records with 1M predator records. - Medianet XML feeds processing and importing into MySQL. Largest feed was 125GB with 400M records. - XML translation from PubMed Commons format with XML::Compile::Schema to obtain [login to view URL] schema using XSD - Consumer data aggregation: parse hundreds of XML files with consumer data, clean up and load in database (over 5M consumers) - Web service to load and parse CSV,XLX and XML files. Parsed based on external dictionary with change detection and MySQL uploading Of course I am available via Skype, including audio and video chat, to answer any questions. Meanwhile could you provide some more information? Looking forward to work together, Felix Enescu

Hi! I'm one of the best Perl developers here and I'm really love this language that's why I'm sure you'll be impressed with my work. I can provide you excellent Perl code which will work like you want. I'm talking about command line program which will accept input file with list of URLs (and some other data like CODE), parse each line, read RSS feed from the URL, parse it and save output to the result file (named like you want). All I need is 100% milestone payment (you'll release it after you check everything on your side). Thanks. Roman
