With development versions of Perl you can now use the Encode
module like so:
use Encode qw(encode decode);
my $iso_data=encode('iso-8859-1',decode('UTF-8',$utf8_data));
The list of encodings that Encode currently supports is given by Encode::encodings():
koi8-r
dingbats
iso-8859-10
iso-8859-13
cp37
iso-8859-9
iso-8859-6
iso-8859-1
cp1047
iso-8859-4
Internal
iso-8859-2
symbol
iso-8859-3
US-ascii
iso-8859-8
iso-8859-14
UCS-2
iso-8859-5
UTF-8
iso-8859-7
iso-8859-15
cp1250
iso-8859-16
posix-bc
That list is expandable via inp0ut text file found in the
ext/Encode/Encode directory in the perl source tar ball
distribution.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
