+# rss-watch.pl
+
+Perl script to monitor RSS feeds and execute scripts.
+
+## config
+
+The config file is stored in `~/.config/rss-watch/config`. Example configuration file:
+```cfg
+[feed "FeedName"]
+url = https://rss.example.com/
+script = /home/user/script_to_exec.sh '$title' '$link'
+```
+
+This will query the url specified by the `url` key for an RSS feed and execute the given script with the arguments `title` and `link` from the feed.
+Multiple script keys can be specified on new lines, which will all be executed.
+
+Only new entries will be acted on. The file `~/.local/share/rss-watch/latest/{FeedName}` will store the last `guid` value from the feed.
+
+Use cron, or other tools to run this script periodically.
