It would have been helpful to post some of your code. In particular, suppose you try to create a really simple, minimal script that prints accented characters just fine on the terminal, but when you run it like this:
perl test_script.pl > test.txt
and look at test.txt, those characters are messed up. Then we could look at your code, and even run it on different machines, to give you more useful advice.
It probably makes a difference where those accented letters are coming from (some other input file? hard-coded in the script?) And what version of perl are you using?

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).
