Took your advice and put those two lines at the top of the code I provided, but frustratingly it didn't work. I just began learning Perl about a month ago, so I apologize for sounding dense. To clarify, does it look like I did as you suggested? I am also looking through the website you linked, hopefully something more will turn up there. My code now looks like: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#I want to take a file of text as input, split it into an array of wor
+ds
#then search through the array for a word that matches the regular
#expression, printing all matches.
binmode STDIN, ":decoding(UTF-8)";
binmode STDOUT, ":decoding (UTF-8)";
use utf8;
use charnames ':full';

while ($line=<>){
        @array = split(/ /, $line);
        foreach $x (@array){
                if ($x=~ /\x{02c0}/){#glottal stop
                        print "$x\n";
                }
        }
}

Thanks so much for your help!
