www.perl.com recently had an article on it:

http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/01/rss.html

Basically, RSS is an XML file served by http which contains channel
information; the RSS client (e.g. slashdot.org, my.netscape.com, my.yahoo.com,
etc.) slurps it and spews out HTML on the end-user's portal page, with some
formatting hints (such as number of articles to show, etc.) provided by the
end-user's preferences.  A testbed for the format can be seen here:
