I certainly am...

#!/usr/bin/perl
use v5.12;
use strict;
use utf8;
use Devel::Peek;

my $trema = "\N{COMBINING DIAERESIS}";
binmode *STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
my $huette = "Hu${trema}tte";

Dump $huette;

say "$huette\'s length: ". length($huette);

SV = PV(0x25f4a58) at 0x25266b8 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8) PV = 0x28da368 "Hu\314\210tte"\0 [UTF8 "Hu\x{308}tte"] CUR = 7 LEN = 10 Hütte's length: 6

That's how it looks like without codetags:

Hütte's length: 6

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
