Well, here's a simple examlpe from the badger book that turns an RSS
file into an HTML page.

[% USE rss = XML.RSS(rssfile) -%]
<html>
  <head>
    <title>[% rss.channel.title | html %]</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>[% rss.channel.title | html%]</h1>
    <p><a href="[% rss.image.link | html %]"><img
          src="[% rss.image.url | html %]"
          title="[% rss.image.title | html %]"
          alt="[% rss.image.title | html %]" /></a></p>
    <ul>
    [%- FOREACH item = rss.items %]
      <li><a href="[% item.link | html %]">[% item.title |html %]</a></li>
    [% END %]
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

You just need to pass it the name of an RSS file. So you could, for 
example, process it from the command with tpage like this:

$ tpage --define rssfile=somesite.rss rss.tt
