Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 4, after start byte 0xf6) at ./tryitut line 7.

Tried also with use encoding "iso-8859-1";
It made my question more clear to me
That worked, but I don't want anything else than the swedish alphabet to be printed on the screen not the number represent a letter or anything different at all.
How can I do that?

I have perl version:

perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux
