My Partial Code: 
$string =~ /(\X+)\s+(\X+)/;

print "String: $string\n";
print "Verify: $1 -- $2 \n";

Result:
String: ¹Š¸£¹…¹„¹ˆ¹† test
Verify: ¹Š¸£¹…¹„¹ˆ¹† -- test

String is in Arabic characters. I can't figure out why "$1" has additional "Â" inserted. So far only, greek, hebrew and arabic characters have such problem.

Below is another example:
String is chinese:

My Partial Code: 
$string =~ /(\X+)\s+(\X+)/;
print "String: $string\n";
print "Verify: $1 -- $2 \n";

Result:
String: 丰田汽车 test
Verify: 丰田汽车 -- test

I have no problem with Chinese, Thai characters.

Anyone knows what is the problem. I am using perl 5.8.6, and this version is already supporting unicode.

Something mess up with the capture expression $1, $2? How come "$1" does not reflect probably but $string reflect correctly?

edit (broquaint): added <code> tags.
