See <http://code-libre.org>. The XHTML has an initial bogus <option>
which is probably why headparser fails to extract any headers.

This also occurs with variations on the <title> tag, such as:
<head>
<title>
some title</title>
</head>
"some title" is essentially ignored. I discovered this using WWW::Mechanize:
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $mech = new WWW::Mechanize();
$mech->get('http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_other_drugs_used_parkinsons_disease_000051_8.htm');
print $mech->title, "\n";
The expected result is to print "Parkinson's disease", but nothing is
printed at all.
Cheers,
Dave

The problem here was that HTML::HeadParser did not ignore the Unicode BOM in decoded
form. I have commited a change that will fix this (in 3.58).
