The link attribute does not get processed correctly from:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/7day-M5.xml
Notice the links are relative and should be appended by the base
attribute. To test here is a subset of the XML file. Just copy into a
file name 7day-M5.xml

And run this command
perl -MXML::Feed -e 'my $feed = XML::Feed->parse("7day-M5.xml");
foreach my $e ($feed->entries) { print $e->link , "\n"; } '
I could not figure out if this bug lies in XML::Feed or XML::Atom. I
ran the code through the debugger but for the life of me could not tell
how it works.
Thanks for you time.
