Does any one here have any smallish programs (around the 50 lines mark) that are badly written and need a tidy up? (I've seen the 12 steps, i know your hiding the good stuff) I'm looking for a few bits of code (Not Obfuscated contest level though :)) that i can use as examples of bad coding style.

Re: Scraping news feeds?

I run http://10.am and do this on a largish scale. For aggregating RSS feeds I use RSSLite [1] rather than XML::RSS. RSSLite avoids using expat and is a little naughty in parsing XML that would make expat barf ( Alot of RSS feeds unfortunatly contain bad XML ). For actual scaping of sites I ba
