Newer versions should return
Encodings too ambiguous: iso-8859-1 or utf8
instead of
iso-8859-1 or utf8
Keep in mind that valid UTF-8 is also valid iso-latin-1. It favours UTF-8 if the document starts with a BOM encoded using UTF-8, Otherwise, I think valid UTF-8 will be considered possible iso-latin-1.
but in practice, only accented Latin letters characters in the 80 to A5 range are common in cp437 text files and only characters in the C0 to FF range are common in Latin-1 files.
Encode::Guess just isn't that fuzzy. It's actually very simplistic. It does not appear to be suitable for your task.

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.
