CGI::RSS - provides a CGI-like interface for making rss feeds

title => "My Feed!",
link => "http://localhost/directory",
desc => "My feed is cool!");

$rss->date ( $h->{date} ), # does rfc822 date processing
);

I am using this software in my own projects... If you find bugs, please please please let me know. :) Actually, let me know if you find it handy at all. Half the fun of releasing this stuff is knowing that people use it.
