you can also use use utf8; you dont have to make it binmode as all strings , input and output will be considered as in perls lax utf8 interpretation.

`use utf8;` doesn't remove the need to binmode the handles. `use utf8; print($fh chr(0x40)); # Happens to work print($fh chr(0xC9)); # Generates broken output print($fh chr(0x2660)); # Warns binmode($fh, ':utf8'); print($fh chr(0x40)); # Ok print($fh chr(0xC9)); # Ok print($fh chr(0x2660)); # Ok` [download] All it does is let Perl know the source is encoded using UTF-8.
