What is your favorite (preferably easy to use since my head is killing me) xml parser?
I'm supposed to be doing a presentation on using rss feeds on websites Saturday and I swear I'm brain dead today. I'm looking for asp, asp.net, php and any other ones you may suggest for displaying rss feeds on a web page in your own site.
I'm doing this with Perl. I followed this article
http://www.webreference.com/perl/tutorial/8/
and then modified the script
http://www.webreference.com/perl/tutorial/8/rss2html.pl
My only changes were to hard code the URL to be fetched and then change the HTML generated. The HTML could easily be placed in a template.
I run my script once a day via cron. The script writes a fragment of HMTL that is included in the final page by PHP

I get an email if it can't fetch the requested RSS file.
I don't have any simple examples in PHP. The only time I've worked with newsfeeds in PHP has been part of larger portal-type applications, where the specifics about the newsfeeds are stored in a data table, for example the title, URL and how often to update the local copy.
