[Omaha.pm] [OT] Parsing XML with command line XSLT xsltproc...

[Dave Burchell]

Maybe try changing

<template match="/" >

to

<template match="//item" >

and change

TITLE="<value-of select="/rss/channel/item/title"/>"
FILE="<value-of select="/rss/channel/item/enclosure/@url"/>"

to

TITLE="<value-of select="title"/>"
FILE="<value-of select="enclosure/@url"/>"

(not tested)
