First, you want eq, not ==. eq is used for string comparisons, == is used for numeric comparisons.

Second, strictly speaking, you aren't removing characters for JPY and GBP. You're replacing the character with a space. Do you intend to do that, or do you intend to remove it?

Third, you probably want to put the characters in brackets ([]): 

  s/[â¬]//g;

I'm not sure if you intend the comma to be a character to remove. Note that there is a huge difference here - what you had only removed the characters when they appeared exactly as-is, in order, one after another. This one will remove all occurences of any character in brackets.

Next, move the close(PDF); to after the print <PDF>. You can't read from a closed filehandle.

Maybe what you really want is: 

  open my $pdf, "<", "LeasevsBuy.pdf" or handleError($!); # you probab
+ly want to print out an error page instead of just dying.
  binmode $pdf;
  $output = do { local $/; <$pdf> };
  close $pdf;

  print "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";
  print "Content-Length: " .length($output) . "\n\n";
  print $output;

Just guessing here.

Hope that helps.
