Try:
cat testfile | nobom.sh
Though the way you describe appears to work here:
$ cat bom-testfile | hd
00000000 ef bb bf 23 20 42 4f 4d 20 74 65 73 74 20 66 69 |...# BOM test fi|
00000010 6c 65 0a |le.|
00000013
$ bomkill.pl bom-testfile | hd
00000000 23 20 42 4f 4d 20 74 65 73 74 20 66 69 6c 65 0a |# BOM test file.|
