Best answer: If you're not too fussy about the presentation, you may try FeedSweep. It appears to support RSS 1.0/RDF. However, the service seems to be down right now, so I don't know how it would work.

I've been looking for a solution myself, but haven't found a realitively simple way to parse RDF in Perl.

I don't know if you could use this, but Magpie RSS is a php based rss parser. It works pretty well for me - there is some error handling problems, but you could write an if/else query to handle it - I'm just lazy. You just upload a set of php files, and then call them from inside your template as inline php.

Response by poster: Thanks, guys. Despite being a little fussy about presentation I gave FeedSweep a try. I actually found the advanced settings to be impressively configurable, and I think it does the job very well! See?
