I tried to read the new File with perl XML::Parser. But I have Problems 
reading it. 
The Line giving the errors look like:
 <tag k="amenity" v='B&B'>
 <tag k='name' v='Præstegårdskolen' />

The Error message sounds like
  not well-formed (invalid token) at line 282144, column 23, byte 9849188 
at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187

Does anyone know if i have to add something like a coding? If yes which coding 
is apropriate for the planet.osm File?

Any suggestions are welcome.
