Importing feeds into Mail.app with OPML

I've gone back and forth between Mail.app and other email readers and with Leopard I'm going to give the new version another go. I especially like the integrated todo list, notes and RSS feeds but what I havn't found is how to import rss feeds from an OPML file into Mail.app.

So I wrote a small perl script that does it for me.

rss_import.pl.txt


This script takes an OPML file, like one generated by exporting your feeds from Google Reader or the like, and imports those feeds into Mail.app. Using the script may take a little work as it requires the perl module XML::OPML::LibXML that doesn't come with the standard installation. Download, read the POD documentation for usage and description and enjoy.
