Thanks, ikegami

I will do the utf8::upgrade and downgrade thing and see where that puts me.

Yes, I do mean use utf8; although my code file has no BOM, it still seems to work.

I'm so used to using setlocale on perl on our linux servers that I never even thought about why setlocale was available. Importing the module is always a good thing when it's not there by default.

Again, many thanks, and I'll report the results with code samples for the benefit of future googlers and perl monastery residents alike...
