from the perlunicode manpage:

       "use utf8" still needed to enable UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC in scripts
As a compatibility measure, the "use utf8" pragma must be explicitly i
+ncluded to enable 
recognition of UTF-8 in the Perl scripts themselves (in string or regu
+lar expression literals, 
or in identifier names) on ASCII-based machines or to recognize UTF-EB
+CDIC on EBCDIC-based
machines. 
These are the only times when an explicit "use utf8" is needed.  See u
+tf8.

Simply remove use utf8; from your script and you should get the output you desire :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
