What it does
WLWP is a perl script to take your watchlist and turn it into a single RSS feed on your local computer, which can then be subscribed to with a feed reader. Generally, it should be run in a crontab. This is my crontab:

Of course, I removed my password.

WLWP can also load a file with a list of articles and create a feed from that. This way, you can create different feeds for different topics, etc. Also, if you load from a file, WLWP doesn't need your login credentials every time it refreshes.

WLWP is currently a beta version, with a total of 45 minutes of work put into it. If you find any bugs or have a feature request, let me know.

Contact
You can contact me at my email address alexdodge at gmail dot com, or by posting to the talk page here. I also have a website at alexdodge.net, where I will blog about new developments if I make them.

Installation
Just copy the code below into a file called "wlwp" and stick it somewhere in your PATH. Then you can set up your crontab and subscribe to the resulting feed.

You may have to install some perl modules to get this to work. It uses XML::FeedPP, URI::Escape, and Getopt::Std.

You can run "wlwp -h" for more information.
