Thanks again holli. The fact seem to be that

enurl('börse') gives

b%F6rse

on my system, whereas it gives

börse

on your system. I am guessing we have different perl versions, different module versions, or different default encodings.

perl -MCGI::Enurl -e"print $CGI::Enurl::VERSION" > enUrlVersion.txt
outputs 1.07 for my enurl version.
<code> perl -v > perlVoutput.txt
outputs

I am not sure how to get the default encoding. Truly stumped...
