  GoldenPod - a podcast client in perl

GoldenPod can be used as a drop-in replacement for BashPodder,
and works in a similar way. One of the major differences is that this
is written in perl and uses curl instead of wget.
It also has some features not found in the standard BashPodder,
--dry-run, --verbose and --first-only. Another difference is that
GoldenPod can handle rss feeds that don't contain newlines, at present
BashPodder cannot.

It has it's own configuration file called goldenpod.conf which
is the same syntax as bashpodder, but if that doesn't exist and
bp.conf does it will use that instead.

To use it add the feeds for your podcasts to either goldenpod.conf
or bp.conf then run ./goldenpod to synchronize.
The files will be downloaded to a directory with the name of
the current date.

GoldenPod is cron-friendly, it defaults to nonverbose mode and will
chdir to the directory containing the program before running unless
the -n option is supplied.

You can find the source code at
http://developer.skolelinux.no/~zerodogg/goldenpod but this will be removed
if it gets accepted.

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  GoldenPod requires perl and curl.
The perl modules used are: strict, Fatal and File::Basename.
All of these are likely included in a base install of perl.
GoldenPod has been tested using perl 5 and may not run in earlier
versions.

Other Comments:
---------------
  It's fully functional, and works fine here and I run it both standalone and
as a cronjob.
