Nice. I modified my copy to display the letter, and reversed the print string so that the long text of the unicode name didn't muck up the tab columns. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Unicode::CharName qw/uname/;
use Unicode::UCD qw/charinfo/;

my $value = shift || "Å være eller å ikke være";
my $c;

print "HexValue:\tCharCode\tUnicode Charname:\n";

for (split //, $value) {
  my $l = $_;
  $c = ord($_);
print charinfo($c)->{code} . ":\t\t$c\t\t"."$l -> ". uname($c) ."\n";
}
