Subject: Cryptic Error Message
Clearly there is something wrong in my code, but this error doesn't help me determine at all what is wrong. Here's the error message: $text is undefined in XML::RSS::_encode(). We don't know how to handle it! at /home/njh/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.26.0/lib/site_perl/5.26.0/XML/RSS/Private/Output/Base.pm line 97.

Hi NHORNE! based on the stacktrace it seems the problem is that the textinput lacks a description. Perhaps I can add an earlier sanity check for that. Show quoted text
