I can grab web content with:

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

my $url = 'http://www.webpage.htm';
my $file = 'myWebpage.html';
my $status = getstore($url, $file);
die "Error $status on $url" unless is_success($status);
open(IN, "<$file") || die "Can't open $file: $!";

close(IN);

And the iso-8859-1 characters are there if I open that file in a word processor, eg 'ü'. 'ö', 'ß'... are all there. But reading that file back into Perl would give me missing characters when I print to the Terminal. eg �

If I use ...

use open ":encoding(UTF-8)";

in my code to open that disc file to work on, the print to Terminal gives me the hex. eg 'H\xF6lzl'

How do I get the umlaut over the Latin-1 characters to print to Terminal?
