When trying to parse the feed at
http://www.americastestkitchen.com/radio/rss/iTunesRSSFeed.xml
FeedPP gives error:

Invalid string: [\xFEFF] before <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> at /usr/share/perl5/XML/FeedPP.pm line 553

The XML standard allows a byte order mark, so this shouldn't be rejected
by FeedPP.

(Maybe this bug really belongs to libxml-treepp-perl, I'm not sure, but
both modules have the same author, so...)

Thanks for your bug report, I've forwarded it upstream.

Hi,

Grepping through the source code of both modules shows that the error
message actually comes in XML::TreePP indeed:

/usr/share/perl5/XML/TreePP.pm:780:            $self->warn( "Invalid string: [$ahead] before <$match>" );

There are two new upstream versions of XML::TreePP available, but this
issue doesn't seem to be fixed upstream yet -- at least according to
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KAWASAKI/XML-TreePP-0.41/Changes

Maybe using File::BOM could help there.

... so it shouldn't be an issue that the upstream bug report currently
is still file against the wrong perl module. :-)
