    how do I do this? Not with use utf? This is for having utf in the code e.g. 
    my $string='ΔΙΑΜΕΡΙΣΜ&#91
+3;';
if($field =~/$string/){    ....}

      Perhaps this (untested)
      use Unicode::String;

Unicode::String->stringify_as( 'utf8' ); 
my $string = "This is latin text.";
my $string_utf8 = Unicode::String::latin1( $string );
print $string_utf8;

      Never had to use it myself, but had this snippet from a long time ago.
