The expression "//entry" selects all elements with the local name
"entry" in no namespace. However, the element you want is an "entry"
element in the namespace "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom". Use the
module XML::LibXML::XPathContext to declare a prefix for the name-
space and then use "//atom:entry" (or whatever your prefix).
