I would avoid v1.0 (the RDF version) because I think it's least 
supported by aggregators. So I'd start with 0.91, then play with 
upgrading to v2.0. (I'm not sure how many aggregators handle that, maybe 
all/most since a valid 0.91 feed *is* a valid 2.0 feed, once you just 
change the version tag.)    (01)

The bigger question is what content to include in the feed - I don't 
think you'd want to include the entire text of a wiki page. Personally I 
just include the node names/URLs. If PurpleWiki lets you associate a 
short Comment with a saved Edit you could use that.    (02)

There was a WebMonkey article within the last couple weeks.    (03)

(I have no opinions on Perl, other than "switch to Python") :)    (05)
