The following seems to work (using convert()):

#v+

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use XML::Feed;

my $feed = XML::Feed->parse(URI->new('http://blog.jroes.net/feeds/posts/default/-/netconf'))
	or die XML::Feed->errstr;

print "Feed format: ", $feed->format, "\n";
my $newfeed = $feed->convert('RSS');
print "Newfeed format: ", $newfeed->format, "\n";

print "Feed title: ", $newfeed->title, "\n";
print "Feed URL: ", $newfeed->link, "\n";

for my $entry ($newfeed->entries) {
	print "Entry title: ", $entry->title, "\n";
	print "Entry content: ", $entry->content->body, "\n\n";
}
 
#v-

But I agree that a $format parameter for the parse() function might
be useful. I'll pass the request on to upstream.

Cheers,
gregor
