XML-RSS

Changes for version 1.30

Same as 1.29_02 (from February 23, 2007)
Removed some methods that were not used.
Added more tests to increase the test coverage.
Fixed a bug where prefixes could be specified with invalid characters because there was a range (.-_) instead of three individual characters (.\-_).
Many files were left in the distribution or Subversion repository that were executable but need not be. Made them non-executable.
Clean up examples/ directory and move generated files out of t/
isPermaLink / guid fixes (RT#23983, Shlomi)

Added POD for full POD coverage. (Shlomif)
Several other bug fixes. (Shlomif)
