Hmm...are you sure the file in in utf8? E9 is latin1 for e-acute.
Can you dump the hex values and check? (or just try code below).
If your users are entering latin-1, then you could use the Encode module to shift the script to utf8.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode;
use utf8;
my $code = <<"EOLATINCODE";
my \$var_with_\xE9_accent = 10;
print \"var is \$var_with_\xE9_accent\\n\";
EOLATINCODE
$code = decode('latin1', $code);
print "CODE is $code\n";
eval $code;
if ($@) {
print "DIED: $@\n";
}
You don't seem to need 'use utf8' in the eval'd code in this case, but you seem to need it in the containing script.

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).
