escaping and quoting; etc. This module attempts to remove those differences
by providing a wrapper around the formats and the classes implementing
-those formats (I<XML::RSS> and I<XML::Atom::Feed>). For example, dates are
+those formats (L<XML::RSS> and L<XML::Atom::Feed>). For example, dates are
handled differently in each of the above formats. To provide a unified API for
date handling, I<XML::Feed> converts all date formats transparently into
-I<DateTime> objects, which it then returns to the caller.

-=item C<$XML::Feed::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER>
+=item C<$XML::Feed::Format::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER>
If you want to use another RSS parser class than XML::RSS (default), you can
-change the class by setting C<$PREFERRED_PARSER> variable in XML::Feed::RSS
-package.
+change the class by setting C<$PREFERRED_PARSER> variable in the
+XML::Feed::Format::RSS package.

+ $XML::Feed::Format::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER = "XML::RSS::LibXML";
B<Note:> this will only work for parsing feeds, not creating feeds.
+B<Note:> Only C<XML::RSS::LibXML> version 0.3004 is known to work at the moment.
+
+=item C<$XML::Feed::MULTIPLE_ENCLOSURES>
+
+Although the RSS specification states that there can be at most one enclosure per item
+some feeds break this rule.
+
+If this variable is set then C<XML::Feed> captures all of them and makes them available as a list.
+
+Otherwise it returns the last enclosure parsed.
+
+B<Note:> C<XML::RSS> version 1.44 is needed for this to work.
