Hi,
I've started to make an RSS/Atom/RDF reader, a podcast reader, a TV watcher
and a radio listener built in the same program, but I've stopped developing
it.
Somebody from another list asked me to make it public because others might
be interested to continue developing it.
Until now I've created the main design of the program and I've worked only
on the RSS/Atom/RDF reader part.
The program uses more threads, the interface can be translated to english
and romanian using .po and .mo files, it has a built-in web server that
listens to requests and so it can be asked to add new RSS/Atom/RDF feeds not
only from its GUI, but from a link stored in a web page like
http://localhost:12345/news-add/http://url.to.rss.file/
It uses an SQLite database that accumulates the RSS sources and the
downloaded articles for beeing able to found them locally later.
The program has many bugs that make it sometime crash when trying to close
it, or sometimes the threads don't synchronize.
I've added a .perlapp file that could be used for creating a binary
executable with ActiveState's PDK and I've also added a .exe file, which
works but not all the features work in it.
I've created some more time ago executables that were working better, but I
don't remember now why this doesn't work very well.
Maybe because now I use perl 5.10.0 and before I used perl 5.8.8... I don't
know.
Anyway, if it helps somebody, you can download the program from:

And if you have questions about it, please ask.
It might be a good project for someone who has more time and WxPerl
knowledge.
HTH.
