Hi fellow monks. I feel that my conversion utf8 to latin1 involves too much typing. 
# utf8 -> latin1 encoding
cat utf8.txt |perl -MEncode=from_to -pe 'from_to($_,"utf8","latin1");'

The reverse operation latin1 to utf8 is a quicky. It can be as short as: 
echo Döner | perl -C6 -pe1
I believe that Perl v5.6 had a short way to convert the encodings. 
    tr/\0-\xFF//CU;        # change Latin-1 to Unicode
    tr/\0-\x{FF}//UC;        # change Unicode to Latin-1

Is there a short way in Perl > v5.6?
