Title: Half-Sibling- and Sex-Functions

Hi Paul,

I've been using Gedcom.pm for several years now (thanks, btw!) and have worked on a few things within Individual.pm. Some of these I would now like to ask you to review for inclusion in your package:

I've added the half-sibling/-brothers/-sisters functions. The sense of these, I think, speaks for itself.

Also I've made sex() compatible with individuals missing the SEX property entirely. My aim was compatibility with royal92.ged, which you even included with an earlier version of your package, so it can be used widely for test purposes. I haven't looked in the Gedcom specs, whether the file might be breaking the rules, but I believe I've made a fail-safe change, which is not harmful in any case.

Beyond that, I've added a few lines to the POD and corrected a minor spelling error.

It would be a privilege to have my code included in the package.

Michael

PS: I'm also on the perl-gedcom mailing list, in case you prefer to converse over there.
