It is niche but very appreciated by those of us that use it. Basically if I like a blog or similar service then I like to follow it. But I will never see new postings unless they have a feed, or if I follow them on Fediverse. I'm not going to sit there reloading 72 web sites every day.

I have a blog and a web site, both of which I create with make4ht, so they have no RSS feed. Of course, everyone else uses WordPress, which can produce a RSS feed. But I compose with LaTeX as my markup language, and (the last I checked) LaTeX is only marginally-compatible with WordPress. But I am a dinosaur, and I am not sure that RSS still is vital or even helpful to a web site; therefore my query. RLH

And as the error message says, your perl is not set to look for it there. You can add it by invoking the program as: $ perl -I . ./listgarden.pl or you can move/copy the module to one of the directories listed. > Perhaps the Perlmongers mail list still is active.
