Hi DK. I'm trying to figure out what your objective here is. Are you trying to learn how XML::Parser works? Or are you trying to do something with RSS? I mean, if its the latter then I would do it like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::Simple;
use LWP::Simple;
use Data::Dump::Streamer;
$|++;
my $ticker=['http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=30175&xmlstyle=rss'
+,
"http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/science"]->[rand 2];
print "Getting RSS from $ticker\n";
my $feed = get($ticker);
print "Parsing RSS...\n";
my $ref = XMLin($feed);
print "Dumping Parse Tree...\n";
Dump $ref;
If its the former then I can't really help much beyond pointing out that what you are doing with the lexical var "$feed" in there scares the willies out of me.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
