in reply to LWP::UserAgent; unable to copy extended ASCII

What you see is the Unicode replacement character that is printed whenever the target cannot accept the character. You should maybe also see some warning about "wide chars" from Perl.

Did you tell Perl that you want to output Unicode to STDOUT?

binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';

    Nitpick: "Unicode" is the name of the concept, not of a particular encoding. The character é can be represented in a variety of encodings, including good ol' ISO-8859-1. So... Perl doesn't complain about a wide character in this case.

    The remedy is correct as given: You want to print in the encoding which is understood by the print handle. This is indeed UTF-8 for "modern" Linux terminals.
