in thread Malformed UTF-8 character
I understand that use utf8 is to save the code page in utf-8
Not really sure what you mean by that... but use utf8 tells Perl that the source code (string literals, etc.) is encoded in UTF-8. So you shouldn't use it if that's not the case for your script.
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8" sets the utf8 PerlIO layer for STDOUT, which tells Perl that you want UTF-8 encoded output for that file handle.
use open ':encoding(utf8)' declares the default layer for I/O streams, i.e. you don't have to explicitly specify the respective layer when you open a file. See the open pragma for the details.
