Did you mean "print $out1" ?

Anyway, a couple of things may be going wrong. One thing is that it's possible that the backticks don't interpret the command's output as UTF8.

Try this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html;charset=utf-8", "\n\n";

# open command and explicitly request utf-8
open (COMMAND,"-|:encoding(UTF-8)","java -classpath /usr/local/lib/CS.
+jar csearch/CorpusSearch 'HTMLQ((naġ Exists))") or die $!;

my $out1 = join('',<COMMAND>); # put all lines in one string

binmode(STDOUT,":utf8");  # this marks the output as accepting utf8

print $out1;

You may also need to be careful about how you're reading the input data.
