In the last week, Ben Hammersley has been on a roll, releasing code to put various data into RSS. First, it was putting the FedEx tracking data into RSS. Next, it was Google results in RSS. And now, it is the installed Perl modules in RSS.
The last one is the most interesting one for me. Having any type of system data in a format which you can read as part of your day is a very good thing. I could see someone having a clean master machine and then whenever a new Perl module is installed, the RSS feed would be updated, and anyone reading the feed would know to update their machine as well. Obviously this could be automated so the updates happen magically.
