Hello Monks, I'm having a utf8 string in Perl's internal form, obtained from Encode::decode() and would like to use tr/// to translate a list of Latin1 characters (65 characters in total). Obviously, tr/// does not convert the Latin1 characters to utf8, because in the test case below the Euro sign is not translated. 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Encode;

my $utf8 = Encode::decode('utf-8', '[€]');
$utf8 =~ tr![]€!<>E!;

print $utf8;

How can I accomplish this?

I can lookup the codepoints for all characters in a foreach and replace the using a hash, but that's what we have tr/// for right?

Thanks in advance!

Update: I cannot do the translation before converting to utf8 because the string can be in different character sets.
