This code:

my $encodings_test = 'ascii cp1252 cp437 cp850 iso-8859-1 utf-8-strict
+ utf8';
my $decoder = guess_encoding($data, qw/$encodings_test/);
print "decoder: $decoder\n";

... does not what you think it does. qw does not interpolate strings into lists. You likely want:

my @encodings_test = qw(ascii cp1252 cp437 cp850 iso-8859-1 utf-8-stri
+ct utf8);
my $decoder = guess_encoding($data, @encodings_test);

[download]

... or if you want to keep your list of encodings as a string (why?!), split it into a list:

my $encodings_test = 'ascii cp1252 cp437 cp850 iso-8859-1 utf-8-strict
+ utf8';
my @encodings_test = split /\s+/, $encodings_test;
my $decoder = guess_encoding($data, @encodings_test);
print "decoder: $decoder\n";
