Re 1) and 2): This particular script takes the data from a special filehandle DATA that allows you to read the text that follows the __DATA__ marker in the script. If you want to process a file instead either open the file and pass the filehandle: 

open IN, '<', $filename or die "...";
$parser->filter(\*IN);

or 
open my $IN, '<', $filename or die "...";
$parser->filter($IN);

[download]
or use the filterfile() method 
$parser->filterfile($filename);

[download]

Re 3) I did not include the whole XML at the end of the script, so maybe that's where there's the problem. Drop the __DATA__ and everything after that and use the filterfile() method.

There are a few posts related to XML::Rules on Perlmonks, try to find them and see if they help. I tried to explain the design of the module in some of those. For example in (RFC) XML::TransformRules, (RFC) XML::Rules - yet another XML parser and Simpler than XML::Simple.
