Subject: Failure to handle files with a utf8 BOM
Hi Paul People ar starting to use Gedcom files output by programs which insert utf8 BOM at the start. Also, if the text in the file says 1 CHAR UTF-8 the file need to be (re)opened in utf8 or binmode. File::BOM should help here. Cheers Ron

Hello Ron, Thanks very much for this report. As of commit bac912d Gedcom.pm should deal with BOMs and files where the encoding is specified within the GEDCOM as UTF-8. This will be in the next release. Thanks again.
