If the stuff coming in from your web clients is using the "%XX" notation for utf8 character data, then any "wide" characters (requiring more than one byte in utf8) will require one "%XX" thingie per byte (e.g. a utf8 "ÿ" (U+00FF) would be "%C3%BF").
If you see that in your input, then pack("C",...) is the right thing as the first step: it creates the appropriate byte sequence for the intended utf8 character. The utf8::decode() step then handles the necessary step of getting perl to acknowledge that the given byte sequence should be treated as a utf8 character.

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).
