In fact the data models are ready and waiting:

    XML::RSS
    Read and create all sorts of RSS flavors.
    http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?XML::RSS

    Mail::Box
    Read and create all sorts of mail box flavors (mbox, maildir, etc)
    http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Box

They just need some plugging together. Legos anyone :)
