Also, there's another problem with your second solution. Unicode support remains on Text::CSV_XS's todo list.

You could instead try the largely compatible Text::CSV::Unicode. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings; use strict;

# solution 2, converted to Text::CSV::Unicode

# replacement for Text::CSV_XS
use Text::CSV::Unicode;

my $csv = Text::CSV::Unicode->new();
my $count=0;

my $file = 'PS0002_9_2006b.txt';
if (defined $ARGV[0]) {
    $file = $ARGV[0];
}

my $sum = 0;
# ikegami's fix
open(my $data, '<:raw:encoding(UCS-2le):crlf:utf8', $file) or die "Cou
+ld not open '$file'\n";
while (my $line = <$data>) {
    chomp $line;
    exit if ($count >= 20);
    $count++;
    if ($csv->parse($line)) {
        my @columns = $csv->fields();

        $sum += $columns[2];
    } else {
        warn "Line could not be parsed: $line\n";
    }
}
print "$sum\n";
