NAME
     eatFeed - Pull data out of a web feed (RSS,XML,etc).

SYNOPSIS
     eatFeed [ELEMENTS] -url [FEED URL]

EXAMPLES
     eatFeed items[0].link -url http://digg.com/rss/toplinks.xml
         Returns the url of the current top story on digg.com
     
     eatFeed items[2].description -url http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot
         Returns the description of the third story currently on slashdot.
     
     eatFeed items[4].title -url http://del.icio.us/rss/popular
         Returns the title of the fifth item on the del.icio.us list.
     
     Note that item arrays are zero-based. The first post would be items[0].

DESCRIPTION
     eatFeed allows you to pull selected data from a web feed (XML,RSS,ATOM,etc). You could use
     it to grab the title/url of the latest post on your favorite site. In addition to syndicated
     feeds, you could use eatFeed to retrieve data from any accepted data file.
     
     With most web feeds, the most common elements you'll want to use are:
     items[0].link
     items[0].title
     items[0].description
     
     While 'link','title', and 'description' are the most common, you should be able to use
     eatFeed to retrieve any element. Look at the source of your feed to find additional
     data elements.

NOTES
     This uses Stephen Paul Weber's outline converter script behind the scenes:
