in reply to UTF-8 text files with Byte Order Mark

I agree that this should be done automatically if the UTF-8 IO layer is specified. The fact that UTF-8 files with a BOM are rare make this more important. I'm willing to bet that there are many Perl scripts out there that read UTF-8 files and that will break the first time they encounter a file with a BOM.
