Hello Monks, I am using Text::Unaccent module to unaccent a string. This is my code 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Unaccent;

my $str = "Los-Cabos-Meliá";
#my $str = "This is a simple string";

my $unaccented = unac_string('UTF-8',$str);

print "Original : ".$str."\n";
print "Unaccent : ".$unaccented."\n";

This thing works fine on my local machine but strangely gives 'Invalid argument' error on other test machine with same version of Text::Unaccent. Please suggest what might be the issue.

--------- OUTPUT --------------- 
unac_string: Invalid argument
Original : Los-Cabos-Meli
Use of uninitialized value $unaccented in concatenation (.) or string 
+at remove_accent2.pl line 12.
